For the bulk of H1 holders (who I can assure you will not pick up 400k CAD jobs) it's not necessarily a switch to an easy life with great salaries once CoL is accounted for. I wouldn't want to make move to Vancouver as an example for $average unless I had serious cash for a family home etc - property prices are wild.

The jobs H1 holders will want don't tend to be in the "affordable" parts of Canada either.

The speed at which these Canadian offers were consumed speaks far more to the desperation/frustration of many average workers in the US stuck in Green Card wait lines - I doubt we are witnessing the flight of many from FAANG etc in majority of cases.
