Irish Emigration to Canada Popular

They're not coming in the numbers they did during and after the potato famine years but Irish immigration to Canada is still sought after.
According to TheJournal.ie it took just 12 minutes for almost 4,000 Canadian visa applications to be snapped up by Irish people this past week. In addition about 7,000 working holiday places were available for Irish passport holders under the age of 36 who do not have pre-arranged job offers. See http://goo.gl/RjhWb8.
