About 100,000 Americans went to other countries, or remained in hiding in the United States; about 50% to 90% of these are believed to have gone to Canada.
According to official Canadian estimates about 125,000 Americans immigrated to Canada during the Vietnam War period. Not all of these would have been draft dodgers.
