From a cultural perspective, sure. But it’s not as easy from a logistical perspective. I looked into it when it looked as though the former president might install himself as dictator for life, and there are quite a few complex hoops to jump through.

I checked when Trump won the first election and I am a few points short of being able to emigrate without getting a company to sponsor me. Only way I can do it is:

  • Get a Masters or a Doctorate in a desired field
  • Marry a citizen
  • Find a company that can't find a local to do the job and have them sponsor your move

My current company would be fine with me working in Canada I just can't do it legally yet.

Oh absolutely. I mean I am sure it is easier to move there than most other countries, but yeah you aren't just driving up theere with your stuff in tow and think you can just settle down.
