The conservative candidate won the presidential election and now \u2018immigration to Canada\u2019 is trending,\u201d tweeted on Ohioan living in South Korea. \u201cFeels like 2016 all over again\u2026 (I want to go to Canada, too.)\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Insider website claimed the former prosecutor\u2019s presidential victory in South Korea led to people talking about immigrating to Canada on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cYoon&rsquo;s win led some South Koreans to consider their immigration options &#8211; at least according to Twitter, where the term \u2018immigration to Canada\u2019 was trending on Thursday,\u201d reported Insider. \u201cTwitter analytics site GetDayTrends reported close to 16,000 tweets about the topic in the early hours of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Watch Video<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nT-oU42bqBk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\">The GetDayTrends Twitter analytics website does show the search term \u201cCanadian immigration\u201d hit 15,800 tweets for a very brief period of time in the early morning hours in South Korea on March 10. But that trend did not carry over into the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When Trump took the White House in 2016, left-leaning Americans reacted much more strongly to his electoral victory and many of them did, in fact, flee north and immigrate to Canada.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Canada Immigration Enjoyed Trump Bump<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the wake of Trump\u2019s victory, Canada saw an almost 30 per cent increase in the number of Americans becoming new permanent residents to Canada. Many of those Americans who almost immediately contacted Canadian immigration lawyers were Muslims or members of the LGBTQ community who said they no longer felt comfortable living in the United States after Trump\u2019s win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With Yoon\u2019s political victory less than a week old, it remains to be seen how many South Koreans may be prompted by that changing political climate to immigrate to Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Certainly, there is a lot of opportunity for South Koreans to immigrate to Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ottawa open its doors to immigration even wider last month and announced the country will welcome 431,645 permanent residents this year, 447,055 next year, and 451,000 in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">South Koreans eager to immigrate to Canada can seek permanent residence in five ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Under\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/immigration.ca\/fr\/canada-express-entry-immigration\"><span class=\"s3\">Express\u00a0Entry\u00a0system<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Canada\u00a0receives\u00a0immigration\u00a0applications\u00a0online.\u00a0Applicants\u00a0who\u00a0meet\u00a0eligibility\u00a0criteria\u00a0submit\u00a0an\u00a0online\u00a0profile\u00a0known\u00a0as an\u00a0Expression\u00a0of\u00a0interest\u00a0(EOI),\u00a0under\u00a0one\u00a0of\u00a0three\u00a0federal\u00a0immigration\u00a0programs\u00a0or a\u00a0participating\u00a0provincial\u00a0immigration\u00a0program, to the\u00a0Express\u00a0Entry\u00a0Pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Candidates\u2019 profiles then are ranked against each other according to a points-based\u00a0system\u00a0called the Comprehensive Ranking\u00a0System\u00a0(CRS).
