... they gonna make it easier for US citizen remote tech workers to pursue PR status without having to find a Canadian employer first (and, so, take a big pay cut)? I'd love to move my family there and start paying our way-above-median-income taxes to Canada instead of the US, but struggle to make the minimum score for immigration in any Canadian province despite having the advantages of the right kind of career and degree (and, actually, I think we've aged out of making the cut in any of them, now, as of the last year or two).
[EDIT] To be clear, I get why this narrow slice of the population isn't one they're worried about bending their immigration system to accommodate, and I'm not mad about it, it'd just be really cool if we accidentally got helped by some other, larger reform.
They do not want US citizens because you all have a strong exit path when you realize the marketing does not match the reality.
When people lift and immigrate from across an ocean the proposition for going back is not as strong or easy. There are a lot of 'sunk cost' issues and 'image' that come into play.
