Some Americans may be so worried that Donald Trump could be the next president that they may be considering leaving the country.
Google searches for the phrase "How to move to Canada" spiked in the hours after the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination won primaries in seven states on Super Tuesday.
Google Data Editor Simon Rogers was the first to notice the trend, Mashable reported. He tweeted that searches for "How can I move to Canada" spiked 350 percent late Tuesday only to rise to 1,150 percent by midnight. People in Massachusetts seemed to search for the phrase the most, where Trump won with 49 percent of the vote.
The Canadian government's website also experienced some delays because of the number of visitors to its site.
"You may experience delays while using the website. We are working to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience," the error message read.
It's not immediately clear if the delay was due to the spike in searches.
