For sure, but it's narrowed a lot. The boom of remote work during the pandemic meant Canadian companies were in more competition with US companies than ever before for Canadian talent.
Anecdotally, after working for US companies for the past 6 years, I was pleasantly surprised that there are now Canadian companies at least in the ballpark these days.
What the families of H1-B workers go through in the event of a layoff sounds awful. What was it before the extension, 3 months to find a job, or pack up your life and go back where you came from?
