I've done that more or less since 2015. it's not easy, and I was lucky to have a large group of generally well-connected coworkers and peers from jobs I worked in the US.
Generally not possible for the average Canadian unless they've got 80% percentile tech skills, and/or did some time working in the US.
Not sure why it isn't more common, even if salaries stay roughly equal (after conversion to CAD), there is tremendous savings to be had just in health insurance costs alone.
