We'll pretty much take anyone with a bachelor's degree who speaks one of the official languages, unless you're Irish, for some reason.
I have to disagree. I've been looking into moving to Canada after undergrad, but I can't because the med schools there don't want non-Canadians. AND to get a medical residency afterwards, you have to be a Canadian citizen or PR. Even if I decide not to go to med school, I have no working experience, and jobs go to Canadians first. I'm young, educated, and financially well-off, English is my native language, I could assimilate easily, and I'd love to make Canada a better place, but I won't be able to move for at least a decade.
Having said that, immigrating to the US isn't exactly a cakewalk either. I moved here when I was just under 5 and didn't become a citizen until I was 19. My parents were doing the heavy lifting, and I could tell it was a very frustrating process.
