I'm currently working in the US on a TN visa. I like it here, and if given the chance I'd probably stay. But the odds of me being able to do that, without jumping through large number of inhumane hoops like a circus animal, are low.

Odds are I will be moving back to ole Canada at some point. The US is so busy being afraid of everyone else that they're very, very quickly driving themselves into irrelevance.

Canada is a great country too. I'm sure that if you asked many people who have jumped through all the hoops like a circus animal to stay in the US that a significant percentage of them would tell you that it just wasn't worth it in the end.

I'm not even sure why qualifications are the benchmark for some of these visas. As it stands you need either a bachelor's degree or 10 years working experience to justify as qualified for most visas I've seen.
