Move To Canada? What Happened When One U.S. Citizen Looked Into It
By John Dodge
CHICAGO (CBS) --Upon waking up after Super Tuesday, folks got online and looked into moving to Canada.
At least that's a fair assumption, judging from this Google Trends chart. (Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton scored widespread victories, thus solidifying their status as the front-runners for their respective party nominations.)
And the trend was particularly strong in Illinois.
A Google data analyst noticed the trend Tuesday night.
So, I looked into it.
Filled out an online questionnaire
Got rejected.
First, there is a language (English or French) test requirement. Initially, when I filled out the survey, I said that I had not taken the test, and I was immediately told that I wasn't eligible.
Just for fun, I took the survey again. This time I lied, and entered in some language test results. That led me to a series of questions about my work and family background.
I was rejected, again.
I should point out that I was rejected for "Express Entry" to live there permanently. There are a variety of other options.
But simply move to Canada?
It's not so easy.
A colleague suggested I seek a referral from Ted Cruz.
