Every US presidential election brings renewed interest in Americans seeking to come to Canada.  This is not unique to President Trump, but Trump brings some specific Canadian immigration consequences to his being elected President of the United States. Immediately following his election on November 8, 2016, the dramatic interest in Canadian immigration resulted in a crash to our online information system.   Many of his proposed policies piqued interest for many Americans and non-Americans without status seeking residency and/or protection in Canada. However, the Canadian immigration reality is very different from 2016 and Canada is not as welcoming as it has been in the past.  Prospective immigrants from the US need to know the current lay of the Canadian immigration landscape.

The Canadian Citizenship Act governs the process through which individuals can acquire Canadian citizenship, which is an essential part of Canadian identity. To become a Canadian citizen, you must meet several requirements. First, you must be a permanent resident of Canada and have lived in the country for at least 3 out of the last 5 years. You must also have filed your taxes (if required), passed a citizenship test on your rights, responsibilities, and knowledge of Canada, and demonstrated proficiency in either English or French. Additional requirements may apply depending on your specific situation, such as for minors or adopted children.
