As a Canadian I have to say it's easy to get short-term non-immigration visas (TN's, which technically are a status not a visa).

But green-card/immigration visas are no easier for Canadians than anyone else.

If you're technical, yeah. Always tons of demand for engineers. But if you're not a software engineer, much harder I believe.

You don't have to be a software engineer, or even technical, you just have to be a "professional".

Touche. Also there are many ways around it.
