Immigration to Canada in recent times
The trend of increasing interest among Americans to move to Canada is borne out in the latest figures for American immigration to Canada. In 2015, a total of 7,964 Canadian Permanent Resident Visas were issued to Americans, a figure that climbed to 8,587 in 2016 and again to 10,071 in 2017. In just a couple of years, the number of Americans being granted the right to live and work in Canada permanently climbed by more than 26 percent.
