According to Stascan's 'Census 2006', USA is the top 5th country of birth of recent immigrants, 1981 to 2006.

With regards to full-time workers from USA as per Census 2006, the following table is self-explanatory.

When the USA goes to **** i'd rather not be here honestly. There are those who think it is honorable to go down with the ship, I say its stupid. Thats why I was asking my question. Oh and may I add Canadian schools (even the top ones) are incredibly affordable (for international students) compared to almost all of the out-of-state tuition prices here in America.
The grass is always greener on the other side...But Canada has its issues to. The image many folks people have of Canada is the 1970s and earlier picture of it, where it was largely a English-French society. The population today is far more diverse, for better or worse depends on the individual. The last time i visited Montreal in 2000 though I was shocked that quite a few areas resembled some of the most run down areas of Detroit, and it wasnt like that a few years prior. Chock that up to Canada not assimilating some of its immigrants properly [the area was a Haitian area, walking through there at night...not reccomended].

You are trying to create hate towards certain ethnic groups.
I did say some areas of the city, not the entire city. The immigrant portions of Montreal that are bad [and some ARE very bad] point to Canada's lack of assimilating some of its migrants...That is what I meant. The grass is always greener on the other side as I said, the US has its issues with immigrants, but so does Canada.
And not all of Canada's migrants are skilled. The Asian ones are. But many of the Carribean ones are not.
Note that that is Montreal though [which I live at for two months of the year since 1996]. I have never been to Toronto, so that city might not have the same issues Montreal has.

Toronto has similar issues to Montreal. If anything, gang-related crime in Toronto (in which unfortunately many immigrants and children of immigrants are involved) is quite a bit worse in Toronto these days than it is in Montreal.
As for American cities, well in Detroit at least most of the people living in run-down areas of the city aren't immigrants but American-born United States citizens.
A NAFTA visa? I didn't realize Americans could work in Canada...that easily. Is that an easy visa to obtain, or a difficult one? I've heard most non-Canadians though are working way less than desireable jobs there, even if incredibly qualified.
I like Canadian politics...but never really liked the people. Way too anti-american in my experience, and way too nationalistic. But I do like some of the cities, etc.
Sadly, it is interesting how many people from all over the world emigrate to America...but very few if any countries allow this reciprocally.
Yeah, it's funny, everybody wants to come to America and other countries are trying to keep everyone out, with stricter rules/laws.
Why would any American want to immigrate to Canada? It is much colder there, and the Canadians benefit from a lot of social services that strike fear into the hearts of most Americans either because they reek of "big government" or "communism." Most Americans would feel more at home in places like Cambodia or Syria, where the weather is nice, guns are used frequently, and the government provides practically no services at all.
Or Somalia...I hear Darfur is an excellent choice for tea partiers...lots of guns and no government and social services.
