the important caveat here is the TN visa, which makes it reasonably easy for certain skilled fields to move across the border.
if you're in STEM there is easy a 40% difference in pay, and considerably more on the high end (FAANGM, or similar large Enterprise tier).
by limiting it to high-end, educated work, it also skews the market a lot -- high earners leave, low-to-mid market stagnates. Canada then has to import both high-end talent via immigration, but also low-end Temporary Foreign Workers to do crappy jobs like slinging coffee at Tim Hortons.
