Canadian immigration website crashes on election night

I guess Prime Minister Trudeau is wrong. Some people are actually serious in moving to Canada. Given that Canada is the second largest country in the world but its population can fit in the state of California, I guess a few Americans won't hurt as long as they don't bring Justin Bieber and Ted Cruz back.

Everyone's probably heard at least one person say they're moving to Canada based on whoever wins the elections. Apparently, some of them weren't kidding.

When the presidential campaign results confirmed a tighter race than most expected, an influx of people decided to look up Canada's immigration site, causing the website to momentarily crash. The website came back around 11:05 p.m. ET.

While some may just be keeping their options open, one business is capitalizing on those serious about making the move north. The Farmer's Daughter Country Market, located on an island at the eastern end of Nova Scotia in Canada, is offering 2 acres of free land and a job for people who relocate.

However, others say moving to The Great White North could potentially be a bad money move, attributing the reasons to employment, cost of living and potentially higher taxes.

In the meantime, Canada has been keeping close tabs on the United States' presidential election with a social media campaign, "Tell America It's Great" trending on Twitter a few weeks ago and "#MeanwhileInCanada" trending on election night.

It's sad because this also means that so many of the people claiming "we're moving to Canada if trump wins!" never actually looked into what is involved in moving here. There was a good article a few days back called "Canada isn't a consolation prize" and I feel that is very much so the case.

I don't think Americans aren't patriotic enough to be on Russia.

I'd prefer the UK to be honest. But from what I hear they are cutting down on the amount of people they are letting in, too.

Yep, they already Trumped the UK some months ago. It would be a jump from the pan to the fire.

How much is a typical apartment rent in Canada? Like the ones with one bedroom? Are there any openings for a science major in Canada?

Fair enough. That's actually not too far with the Los Angeles apartment I lived before.
