Many are going north for vacations and applying to stay.
Many more are moving and asking for asylum.
But with the UK's version of the Supreme Court ruling that TransGender male to female transitioners do NOT qualify as legal women, and with the USA not allowing them to play in most sports, it appears that Canada may become the next tourist destination and perhaps permanent home for transgenders.

Canada’s Immigration Lawyers ‘Overwhelmed’ with Transgender Asylum Requests from U.S.

Canadian media reported this week that immigration attorneys and LGBTQQIAAP2S+ activists have noticed a significant spike in the number of requests for information from Americans identifying as transgender seeking to move to Canada, claiming persecution under the administration of President Donald Trump.
The Globe and Mail quoted multiple Canadian lawyers on Tuesday who said they were “overwhelmed” by the number of calls from alarmed transgender Americans seeking a way to claim political asylum in Canada. Some calls are also from parents whose children are being subjected to medical procedures in response to alleged gender dysmorphia, which the Trump administration has referred to as “child sexual mutilation” and vowed to eradicate.
One transgender activist accused President Trump of launching an “existential assault” on transgender individuals and condemned the leftist government of unelected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for not updating travel advisories to warn transgender Canadians to stay out of America.
The report follows weeks of similar interviews with transgender individuals who oppose Trump’s policies protecting young girls in school sports from being forced to compete against men and his directives to mandate American passports and other legal documents recognize only “male” and “female” as existing genders, excluding non-binary, “two-spirit,” and other LGBTQQIAAP2S+ identities. In Canada, these individuals are allowed to identify their gender on government documents as “X;” according to the Globe and Mail, 3,600 people have chosen to use “X” on their passports.
“We are receiving numerous inquiries from U.S. nationals, including many trans individuals, who are no longer feeling safe at home,” immigration lawyer Warda Shazadi Meighen told the Globe and Mail. “International refugee protection is a last-resort option, granted only when a person’s home country is no longer safe.”
The attorney noted that Canadian law “certainly includes trans identity” as a potential reason for persecution that could trigger refugee protection. “If that fear stems from U.S. state action or inaction, the state is considered the agent of persecution, and the claimant isn’t required to show they first sought protection from the authorities.”
Another attorney, Yameena Ansari, told the newspaper that requiring individuals to identify by their sex on government documents was “a form of violence.” Ansari reportedly described her law practice as “overwhelmed” by Americans seeking information on how to move to Canada due to LGBTQQIAAP2S+ identity.
“Some immigration lawyers have been hosting online seminars for LGBTQ communities on navigating Canadian immigration to address the volume of inquiries,” the Globe and Mail noted. “One last month, attended by 62 people, was dominated by questions about asylum claims from transgender Americans.”
The Canadian government maintains a liberal policy regarding allowing foreigners identifying as LGBTQQIAAP2S+ to move to the country.
“Canada has a proud history of providing protection to and helping resettle those most in need. That includes those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and additional sexually and gender diverse (LGBTQI+) community,” the Canadian government explains on its immigration website, noting Ottawa has special programs in place, in conjunction with LGBTQQIAAP2S+ advocacy groups, to identify those persecuted and help fast-track resettling in the country.
Rainbow Railroad, one of those organizations, reported in February a dramatic increase in requests from Americans seeking to escape the Trump administration’s policies on the grounds that they amount to persecution. Speaking to the CBC, an official with the group said it had documented a 1100-percent increase in U.S.-based requests for resettling in 2025 so far. On Election Day in November, 1,200 Americans reportedly reached out to Rainbow Railroad, “the most requests we’ve received in a single day from any country,” director of protection initiatives Swathi Sekhar said. . .
