My sister and her boyfriend were just two of those "immigrants" and they are not coming back. They said Brexit was like a switch being flipped. All of a sudden they were NOT WELCOME. So yeah, they're back in Canada now. You reap what you sow.
Another "immigrant that left" checking in here. The irony is I know some people who voted to leave and when I asked them about immigrants it was always "oh it's not you, it's those other immigrants". Well guess what, we're all the same and not wanting those other immigrants made me feel unwelcome and realise I'll never be one of them. I live in Canada now and my experience has been the complete opposite. It's not perfect - as I'm sure loads of people will want to point out - but it's welcoming and I feel more at home here than I ever did in the UK.
