Many people in the United States were upset and frightened after the Supreme Court restricted women's access to abortion, and many considered emigrating.
Canada could be a good choice for these individuals as the number of American immigrants in the country has risen dramatically in recent years.
The number of Americans who become Canadian permanent residents has increased every year since Trump took office, with the exception of his third year in office.
From 2015 to 2018, 7,655 to 10,900 American citizens became permanent residents each year.

The province of Quebec has signed an agreement with the Swiss government to recognize five groups of healthcare workers who received their training in Switzerland.
Under the mutual recognition agreement for foreign credentials signed June 14, Quebec and Switzerland will each recognize the professional qualifications of one another's dental hygienists,
midwives, social workers, and family therapists, as well as dental appliance and prosthesis technicians. Quebec has one of the most severe labour shortages in Canada. Despite the fact that the
country is presently experiencing a tight job market with an all-time low unemployment rate of 5.1%, Quebec's unemployment rate is even lower, at 3.9 percent.
