Someone once told me to just apply to be a refugee and move to Canada, as a response to complaining about trump supporters in my area. They weren't even a trump supporter themselves. Bruh, I doubt Canada wants my disabled and out of work ass, even if it was just that simple.
No, they dont,
just like how the US doesn't want the dumbshit "my way or the highway" western canadian separatists.
immigration is difficult, you've got to be extremely rich, smart and highly skilled in a marketable and demanded field, or lucky.
most people are none of these things
You can't apply for refugee status from the US to Canada anyway
You don't need refugee status to move somewhere tho. In the case of Canada you mostly just need to prove you can support yourself, and pass an English or French proficiency test.
Not that simple, no.

From the US you would need to be skilled in something that we need, otherwise you can start as a tourist for 6 months and you need to apply to stay longer. Just because you can support yourself (let's say you work remotely for a US company while living in Canada) it doesn't mean that you can stay just because you speak English.
