American interest in moving abroad skyrockets after Trump’s win — here’s how many would actually leave​

Americans disappointed with the outcome of the U.S. election took their anguish online, with searches related to moving abroad surging following the results of the presidential race.

Google Trends showed that searches related to “leaving the country” and “how to move to …” spiked following the news that Donald Trump would be returning to the White House.


Searches for “how to move to Canada” peaked on Nov. 6, with Google Trends showing interest in the phrase highest among Democratic strongholds, like Vermont, Maine, Oregon and Washington.

Those searching for “can I move to another country” were highest in two pivotal “blue wall” swing states — Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which NBC News has called for Trump — as well as Oregon, Minnesota and Indiana.

A survey conducted earlier this month found that 21% of Americans said they would consider moving abroad if their preferred candidate lost the race.

Never looked into it but I've been told that immigrating to Canada isn't easy.
Course, the strategy that works so well in the US, just come on holiday and don't leave, might work. Gawd knows we need the workers. Since all us boomers retired there's 'help wanted' signs everywhere you look.

I have a friend who moved to Canada after Trump was elected the first time, but he's a skilled surgeon, so....

Retirees are loving Portugal. Remember when they were the lawless autocracy? Funny how the world works.

Man, do we ever need more like him. The fed. gov. is looking into changing some rules around foreign certification, we've lost so many doctors to retirement. My wife just got in with a new doctor in town after two years of relying on walk-in clinics.
Course, we're in a remote rural area, it might not be quite as bad in the city, but still...

The sad thing for the US is that most desirable countries will only accept people with strong professional skills or a lot of money. We can probably afford to loose some money, but losing trained professionals, and often their children as well, is not a good scenario for a country that wants to bring jobs back from overseas.

How ironic. It looks like trump will have to build a wall to keep mexicans out and build another wall to keep americans in.

We have friends who moved to Portugal over a year ago. Due to the influx of expats from the US it has become cost-prohibitive for many these days.
