*lowers voice* As others have pointed out, you cannot necessarily even emigrate to Canada, your neighbour, if you are disabled or have evidence of 'undue' healthcare spending, for example (real life example unfortunately) receiving treatment in the adult psychiatric care system... involuntarily. 🙃
There is an American exceptionalism embedded in the idea that y'all think you can just pick up and leave and go wherever you want. It's cute you think you'd be welcomed. Americans aren't exactly popular in the world.

Can confirm this. I'm British, married to a Canadian, and had to go through the full emigration process, including a medical exam, to get to live in Canada with her.

Also, if you have professional qualifications (physician, engineer etc), the hurdles for recognition of those by Canadian accreditation bodies are very considerable.

And the medical examination included a measurement of my head circumference (to spot the "feebleminded" presumably). You want to move to Canada? You need your head examining! 🤣
