Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — Donald Trump remains in close competition with Hillary Clinton in the quick reckoning of the US presidential election. However, a number of Uncle Sam residents are already considering changing their citizenship.

A number of US citizens have pledged to change their citizenship if Trump, backed by the Republican Party, wins the general election. Proof that this promise will be kept is at least visible on Canada’s hard-to-access immigration website or down.

Reported by Independent, site Citizenship and Immigration Canada difficult to access for visitors. Because it is suspected that the number of people viewing the web page has increased.

There is no official report from Canadian immigration on this subject. However, many Twitter users have complained about the problem of not being able to access the Canadian immigration page.

This is not the first time this has happened: in early 2016, when Trump unexpectedly won a number of votes to become a candidate for president of the United States, the number of Google searches for “How to move to Canada” has increased significantly.

“Search searches for ‘How do I move to Canada’ on Google are up +350% in the last few hours,” Google Data Editor Simon Rogers said via his personal Twitter account last Tuesday ( 2/3).

After Rogers’ tweet, the editor-in-chief of the technology news portal Mashable, Brien Ryes, even said that the official Canadian immigration website had encountered problems due to the large number of users.

Tech Insider then posted a screenshot of a Canadian immigration site where searches for “How to move to Canada” saw a 900% increase.

When you navigate to the “Apply for Canadian Immigration” column, a warning appears stating: “You may experience delays using this site. We are working to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience.

Besides Canada, Ireland and New Zealand are also destination countries that many people want to flee from the United States if Trump’s victory becomes a reality.
