Thousands of Americans looking to leave Donald Trump’s United States have flooded New Zealand’s immigration website.

According to The Guardian, US-based visits to the site increased 24-fold the day after President-elect Trump claimed victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton, from 2300 visits to 56,300.

Even more telling, 7000 Americans actually registered to move to New Zealand during those 24 hours. That figure represents more than double the monthly average.

Government website New Zealand Now, which helps potential visitors to the country organise visas and jobs, had 70,000 hits – or 69,000 more than usual.

A number of US celebrities have previously pledged to move to Canada should Mr Trump take up office, including Barbara Streisand, Lena Dunham, Miley Cyrus, Cher and Samuel L. Jackson.

But Americans aren’t only looking to the land of sheep and Lord of the Rings in the fallout.

Canada’s immigration website crashed under the weight of disillusioned Americans on Thursday AEST, with visitors served an error message.

Canadian news source CBC reported half of the 200,000 visitors were using American IP addresses – meaning they were searching from within the US.

Officials confirm to CBC that 200,000 people, half from US addresses, were on Canada immigration site when it crashed on election night.1/2
