Canada immigration website crashes as Donald Trump’s votes rise

Canada’s official website providing information on immigration and citizenship experienced repeated outages, presumably due to a surge in traffic as Donald Trump grabbed an early lead in the US presidential race.

Many Americans had joked that they would move out of the US, namely to Canada, if Trump won the presidency.
It may be a coincidence, and may not be, since the site already crashed earlier this year – when US presidential candidate Donald Trump declared victory on Super Tuesday.
Surprisingly, the search trend “how can I move to Canada” spiked violently that day, just as it is doing at the moment, according to Google statistics.
