    I am from MI and know just as many people that moved to Canada as moved to the US from Canada. People move for various reasons, but there’s no patterns to it, to my knowledge. It’s a similar process in each country to become a citizen. For highly skilled workers or those with family connections in Canada, the Canadian process is often considered more straightforward. In contrast, the U.S. process can be longer and more restrictive, depending on visa availability and caps. It seems the cost of living in Canada is higher than many places on the border though. Maybe not NYC or Seattle, but places like Detroit are cheaper.
