Americans fleeing political tensions in the US are discovering that immigration to Canada presents significant challenges despite their motivations. Recent reports indicate a surge in US citizens seeking refuge in Canada following political developments, particularly among religious leaders and members of marginalized communities. While work visas offer temporary solutions, obtaining permanent residency requires navigating a complex points-based system that favours younger applicants with Canadian education and work experience. Immigration experts note that, unlike during the Vietnam era, no special pathways exist for Americans, regardless of their circumstances.
