As a Canadian, currently stuck in the US immigration process, I chuckle at this remark.
Also I-485's i.e. Green Cards, Permanent Residence status, in the US are based on where you are BORN not which citizenship(s) you have.

I'd estimate that most people in the tech pipeline intend that. TN status is a lot easier to get and tech salaries are much higher in America.

Yes but the goal is not to move to the US permanently, it is to make a ton of money here and then retire in Canada.

that used to be desirable. But the canadian health care system has degraded, and cost of living is now super high with the housing boom
I say this as a canadian based in sf

If u have a ton money, it's cheaper to just live in US. Canada is very expensive for the plebs. The cost of living keeps rising and the politicians are very anti small businesses and pro oligarchy. They have a strangle hold on the country simliar to the Murdoch in Australia. Ironically, US is fairer in helping the small timers.
