Site crashes as Americans seek to flee Trump presidency

AFP, OTTAWA: The website of Canada’s immigration ministry crashed as many Americans sought to emigrate to their northern neighbor to escape a Donald Trump presidency.
Access to the site became progressively more difficult during Tuesday evening as the Republican candidate picked up key states essential to winning the White House over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The site displayed an error message at 11pm Tuesday (0400 GMT Wednesday) when the swing state of Florida went to Trump, a major step toward the 270 electoral votes he needed to succeed President Barack Obama.
The immigration website explains the steps to take and the criteria necessary to be eligible for residency in the country or for Canadian nationality.
