i think they are using Vancouver as staging area for eb1c green cards so that they don't have to deal with h1b visa.

Thats what my friend at MS told me, not sure how common it is though.

This may change with the Canadian dollar dropping down so low. A (very high by local standards) $150,000 CAD salary is only $100,000 USD. US employers would be wise to invest in Canadian offices. Especially near universities like University of Waterloo or University of Alberta that are some of the best engineering universities in North America.
