As it became more and instructional sex videosmore likely on Election Night that Donald Trump was heading for a shocking victory, users flooded Canada's immigration website and caused it to crash.

For reference's sake, a week before the election, when Hillary Clinton was leading in most polls, the average daily traffic was around 17,000 people with fewer than 2,000 of those being from the United States.
A week earlier, traffic was 17,000 with average 10% of that from the U.S. Traffic was 12 times normal rate as Trump's victory sank in. 2/2

Beyond those rough estimates, we still don't know much. A spokesperson for the department told Mashable that it's too early to know the exact number of immigration applications submitted since Election Day.
Canada expects to welcome 300,000 new citizens in 2017, but how many of those will be American remains to be seen. According to data provided by Canada's immigration office, 6,664 Americans became new citizens of Canada in 2015.

While much of the interest is just intense emotional reaction to Trump's election, for those who try to follow through on the threat, the road to becoming Canadian is actually pretty tough. Immigration lawyer Chantal Desloges told the Globe and Mail:
“It’s not just as simple as getting a job. If you’re offered a job that doesn’t fit under NAFTA exceptions, then your employer here in Canada would need to prove to the Canadian government why we need someone from outside the country when our unemployment rate is already so high."
So, remember: you can try to immigrate to Canada, but you'd better have a damn good sales pitch when you do.
