U.S. Immigration Getting Tougher For Canadian Candidates

Jan 19, 2018 – Canadians are finding it much more difficult to move to the U.S. since Donald Trump became president, despite there being no formal change in the immigration procedure.

Trump has threatened to crack down on the various avenues of immigration from all countries, including through NAFTA, but aside from his on-off immigration ban there has so far been not legislation passed.

However, the message has clearly gone out to immigration officers to increase red tape, meaning prospective immigrants, including Canadians, are facing more paperwork, more scrutiny and significantly longer waiting times for applications to be processed.

Meanwhile, Canadians already in the U.S. as on Treaty NAFTA visas are waiting nervously for the outcome of talks on the restructuring of the agreement, with Trump threatening to pull out altogether from what he has called 'the worst trade deal of all time'.
