From 2016 to 2023 Americans moving to Canada rose modestly, while Canadians moving to the U S declined in the Trump to Biden years. By early 2025 IRCC data show no major uptake. Asylum seekers edge cases may push some Americans north, with officials to decide policy. Lori Wilkinson and Jack Jedwab provided expert context.

NDP’s 2025 loss leaves official party status in doubt
