Anecdotally it doesn't seem to be a significant drop, at least not everywhere. The ferries to Vancouver Island were crammed full of Americans on their memorial weekend.

I wonder, what are the changes to the out-of-country coverage terms of the American health care plans? They are not covered by Canadian schemes, and any American coverage is entirely up to the plan providers. It would be an easy way for them to cut costs.
I can’t blame the Americans.. it’s simple to get to Canada, but they might get arrested by ICE when they try to come back home…

EDIT: I just saw that’s what the majority of the YouTube comments were saying 😅
I've never travelled much to Canada in my life, but this year we are going. Mostly, scoping out places to move out of the US to.
You may wish also to check out whether you may be able to claim citizenship by descent under an Interim measure related to the Bjornquist ‘Lost Canadians’ decision.
It requires one Canadian-born ancestor (not a child of other countries foreign service).
While I wouldn’t usually recommend Reddit, the r/CanadianCitizenship subreddit has a useful FAQ on the Interim Measure and people posting about their experiences with the process.
What if we had living ancestors in I think it was Montreal in 1876 who later emigrated
Yes, your Quebecois ancestors would be considered Canadian-born.
But this opportunity to seek citizenship may be time limited as it’s an interim measure in place until the government can pass legislation to amend the citizenship act to address the issues found in the Bjorkquist decision.
Your ancestors wouldn’t have birth certificates as there wasn’t civil registration of births at that time but there is a database of baptismal records (which are valid for proof of birth from that time).
That subreddit has several people who have applied based on great-great grandparents who were born in the 19th century.
Best to look at the FAQs there. The forms are on the IRCC site but the information isn’t easily navigated around the interim measure.
I appreciate you so much for sharing this. We are trying to pursue whatever avenue we can and thought we didn't have a shot until I saw your comment.
You’re welcome. The Bjorkquist decision implications aren’t that well known. I wouldn’t be aware if we weren’t trying to help some extended family figure it out z
I was born and raised in the US but my wife is from Mexico and each time we get back from a trip there I kind of wish we’d stayed instead.
With the direction the US is heading, you might get your wish. Soon only second-generation-American-born White Male Landowners will be allowed back in the country. Check the original US Constitution on who was an unencumbered American Citizen.
