His main reason for moving is the uncertainty of his visa situation in the US, despite living there for nearly a decade. He'd prefer not to live in a barren snowy wasteland, but hopefully he'll learn to love it, just as the last person I did the exact same thing with.
We should have government programs to help expedite exactly these kinds of workers moving across and assisting with legal and logistical matters. Also partnering with a PEO to help make it seamless for US employers looking to near shore to Canada would seem prudent.
