I ask because the more I talk to people who move away from Canada in my job and in life, the more I get concerned with Canadian passports being "passports of convenience".

Not trying to be spiteful or anything, but I would hope living in Canada is not something people should be trying - or want to - get away from.
Nope. Canadian healthcare is good and I feel more comfortable going to see a doctor in Canada, but it's not like I'm crossing the pacific when I get sick.

I suppose it's different if you're an expat in the U.S., but in my experience moving away involves not living with those benefits.
