With H1-B/GC applicants also climbing record high in the recent years, what are we trying to say here?
If you are looking for a commentary one way or the other on recent political developments in the U.S., well, we have no clue yet, because all the data for H1Bs/GCs and citizenship renunciations both are probably from last year. Also, assuming someone moves to Canada tomorrow, it will take time for them acquire a Canadian citizenship and then from there to the point where they are ready to renounce their U.S. citizenship permanently, specially if that is right now their only citizenship.
If you're a non-resident US citizen in particular, you can really be screwed.
