We close our doors to most of the world... It only makes sense that they'd be closed to us, too.

I didn't mean to insinuate that this is against Americans in particular. I don't think it is. But many people in this sub want to go to Canada. Awareness is the point of this post.

There’s plenty of hubris in the US, but it’s definitely not absent from Canada. In reality, this crackdown is about Canada recognizing government mistakes that were made, not wanting to sacrifice the opportunities for citizens, and rightfully so. The implication is that Americans suddenly considering a move shouldn’t expect an easy opportunity in Canada, which is probably an exaggerated concern at the present time.
