With certain Americans joking about or seriously looking into moving to Canada if [Donald Trump](http://globalnews.ca/news/2687788/new-dating-website-offers-to-connect-americans-looking-to-escape-trump-with-canadians/) is elected president, one dating site is trying to get in on the immigration action.

The site, Maple Match, advertises itself as a facilitator “for Americans to find the ideal [Canadian partner](http://time.com/money/4244472/move-to-canada-trump-presidency/) to save them from the unfathomable horror of a [Trump presidency](http://time.com/4254177/justin-trudeau-donald-trump-barack-obama/).” Its tagline: “Make dating great again.”

Maple Match CEO Joe Goldman tells Global News that the site has seen “immense traffic” and big signup numbers in recent days. “At this time, we are currently wait listing users and will begin matching as soon as we are able.”

Goldman says the company is not funded by any anti-Trump organization.
