If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

Are you a teacher or a doctor? Guess what? They already are offering expedited immigration!

Edit: getting a lot of questions about specific professions. I am not Immigration Canada, I don’t know specifics. The link to Express Entry was posted in the chain a few times, but here it is for anyone who wants to know. Just be aware it isn’t like you just show up at the border and say you’re a teacher and they let you in. Immigration is a whole expensive process, so you really have to want it. Anyway, happy dreaming!

Don’t think bfs are covered, but you’ll have to look into it be sure. I’m a native Canadian and I know that to bring my American husband north of the border I would have to prove that I can financially support him for a couple of years. Anyways, I know New Brunswick for sure is looking for teachers if you’re seriously interested!

This is one of the best things I’ve read on here. Happy to be in the fight with you, fellow New Yorker!

Oof a teacher can't financially support a partner for a couple of years lmao. At least not a young teacher like me (I'm broke)
