The number of Americans claiming asylum in Canada has jumped dramatically, as voters who dislike Donald Trump and his policies flee north of the border.
In 2025, there were 1,850 asylum applications for Americans seeking to move to Canada - more than double the 700 in 2024, the year Trump won his second presidential election.
Immigration data, viewed by the Daily Mail, shows that US asylum claims are approaching figures not seen since Trump's last term, with a record 2,535 applying for asylum in 2017, at the height of the anti-Trump 'Resistance' movement.
Prior to Trump taking office in 2017, the number of Americans seeking asylum in Canada was only a few hundred each year, but surged into the four figures after the election of the MAGA president.
The first full year of Democrat President Joe Biden's term in office - 2022 - saw 1,140 Americans seeking asylum in Canada.
Numbers then fell sharply, to between 300 and 700 a year for the remainder of Biden's single term in office.
Ryan Rosenberg, a managing partner in Canadian firm Larlee Rosenberg, said he has seen a definite increase in immigration inquiries from Americans since Trump took the White House in 2016 and 2024.
'We definitely saw a massive spike in business,' Rosenberg told the Daily Mail. But this time, he said, the law firm saw inquiries from a 'much wider range of Americans.'

It’s cold up there ,LOL
...and if they want to escape deeper, Canada encourages and assists suicide.
🎉🎊👍. Send maple syrup eh!
So, now more gay and tranny problems for Canada. What’s the downside for us?
More BS from the TDS kids at the mail. Yeah l’ll bet dozens have left.
1,850 isn’t even a small town population.
They must really be pushing a narrative to make a story out of that.
...where Canada’s House of Commons passes ‘anti-Christian’ bill that would criminalize quoting Bible.

Rots a ruck in Canada...
Works for me!!
Canada is on its way to be the largest lunatic asylum in the world.
Canada deserves such trash.
And if they will STAY gone, even better...
Nothing in there about them renouncing their citizenship.
Little over 1,000 people in a country
of over 340 million, that is something
to worry about? Good riddance.
Most are probably illegal aliens anyway.
“””The number of Americans claiming asylum in Canada has jumped dramatically,””””
BUT, are all of them US CITIZENS?????????
The voluntary Weeding Out of the Great Disgruntled continues unabated.
