Canada’s immigration website crashes due to heavy traffic
Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration website crashed for a few minutes on the night of the presidential election.
The site reportedly went down for a few minutes due to heavy traffic around 11 p.m., shortly after Republican nominee Donald Trump was projected to win the battlegrounds of Florida and Ohio. The site was back up and running as of 11:04 p.m.
