Emigration from Canada to the U.S. hits a 10-year high as tens of thousands head south
CBC News ^ | May 30, 2024 | John Paul Tasker

Tens of thousands of Canadians are emigrating from Canada to the United States and the number of people packing up and moving south has hit a level not seen in 10 years or more, according to data compiled by CBC News.

There's nothing new about Canadians moving south of the 49th parallel for love, work or warmer weather, but the latest figures from the American Community Survey (ACS) suggest it's now happening at a much higher rate than the historical average.

The ACS, which is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, says the number of people moving from Canada to the U.S. hit 126,340 in 2022. That's an increase of nearly 70 per cent over the 75,752 people who made the move in 2012.

Of the 126,340 who emigrated from Canada to the U.S. that year, 53,311 were born in Canada, 42,595 were Americans who left here for their native land, and 30,434 were foreign-born immigrants to Canada who decided to move to the U.S. instead.

That Canadian-born figure is notably higher now than it has been in the past. It's up roughly 50 per cent over the average number of Canadians born in Canada who left for the U.S. in the pre-COVID period.

Great. Do the snow mexicans walk around with canuck flags on their backpacks so they aren’t mistaken for straight Americans?

Canadians, or Indian nationals that attained Canadian citizenship?

Getting ready to vote in November, for their candidate, Biden. Then, they’ll move back up, especially if Trump wins.

Maybe moving is a referendum on Trudeau’s wonderful policies.

Have you considered the possibility that Canadians want to move here because Canada has no one like Trump?

Canada allowed in 1.3 million migrants last year - for a country of 40 million.

25% of their population are foreign-born

Nope! They're moving here for the same reasons that Indians and Egyptians and Africans and Chinese and Venezuelans and Mexicans and the whole world are Jobs and destruction of the U.S. Trump is just an obstacle for them, just like he is an obstacle for Biden. Canadians are hurrying up to get here, before Trump gets elected, or they'll lose their opportunity.

Yeah, too bad the article doesn’t break that down. I am thinking it maybe more likely professionals (ie doctors etc) because of the recent Liberal Budget hitting capital gains, their retirement vehicle. Still Indian nationals are probably the majority b/c it’s way too expensive in Canada & the housing crisis!

Physicians in the US earn anywhere from $260,000 – $324,000 per annum, whereas their Canadian counterparts receive between $206,000 – $261,000.

Cost of living is more affordable in the U.S. (unless you're living in California or NYC).

It’s a wonder all that immigration has caused a major housing crisis & even sky high food prices. 9yrs of Trudeau as prodigy of Karl Swab, WEF.
