Despite claims by furious Trump opponents that they would leave the country if he won the presidency, Canada hasn't proved as many citizenship applications as might be expected.

The country's did receive an uptick of 66 per cent in applications from January-April 2017, but that only meant an average of 400 people per month rather than the previous year's 264.

And those figures are still down from highs of 2011 - the middle of the Obama administration - when 564 Americans a month were trying to become Canadian, the National Post reported.

>>That sounds like the “entrepreneurial” immigrant rules — all part of the “merit-based” immigration system that Trump says the US should emulate. (Although, the merit system doesn’t apply in all cases.) If you can show that you will make direct investments, and create jobs — you get a lot of bonus points toward your application. Few entrepreneurial immigrants wind up on welfare.

A lot of countries have that — it makes good sense.

I am pretty close to their number — maybe I should give it a whirl? :)

Yeah, because they all would have loved Canada’s “Human Rights Commission,” fining citizens for merely speaking their minds in public! No First Amendment in Canada!
Oh Canada, you’ve become such a Communist State. But then you are just following in the steps of your Queen and your “fatherland” in becoming a worthless land of feckless people. Plus you have a “French Enclave” to “help you out!”
