I have been through multiple H1B applications, a Green Card application, and right now going through Naturalization process, on the other end, I am getting my brother through Canadian process. Regarding the points you made, all these things are applicable for Canadian process too (my brother is stuck trying to prove the documents and degree because of the lockdown), its' just that in American system there are far too many people ahead of you this is why it takes much longer. You're lucky that you have the skillset (and age) Canada values, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for you to migrate to Canada (whereas it isn't that much of a problem for US, unless you are in the unlucky line, i.e. China, India or Mexico).

> its' just that in American system there are far too many people ahead of you this is why it takes much longer Again, not entirely correct. In fact, there are several steps during these processes where applicants have to literally just wait for months, e.g. prevailing wage while applying for a green card. > whereas it isn't that much of a problem for US, unless you are in the unlucky line, i.e. China, India or Mexico There are only three groups of people who have it relatively easy, nowadays, to get a long term visa in the US: the O group (individuals with an extraordinary ability), the E-1 and E-2 groups (traders, investors), and the R group (religious workers). Anyone outside those is either currently banned from enter the country, e.g. H1-B visa holders without an entry stamp in their passports, or are subjected to extremely long waits to get their visas. And while there is a factor about nationality, that only applies to green cards, as L visas are per company percentage based, and H visas run through a lottery. So, again, from what I understand, it is way easier to immigrate to Canada than the US, as the USCIS is purposely curbing visa applications.
