You guys are talking like getting a Canada PR is as easy as buying a phone card from 7-Eleven. Things are getting tough on North of the border my friends and you know who are applying more Canada PR these days, American Citizen. So to say things are all bad compare to US is not true. Yes, market is small but so is population and there is always this misconception about Canada tax. Remember in Canada they don't take money out of your pay check for health insurance and social security so the net amount in your pay check is same (if not more) compare to the same salary in US. Plus the government gives you money for your child care expense which can vary by your income. Having said that the sales tax is high (about 13%) compare to 6-7% in US and stuff like booze, mile, gas, car insurance are high in Canada.
About the weather, if you are coming from state like TX, FL, AZ than yes you will feel the Canadian cold but if you are coming from Midwest or north east state than it no different. Matter of fact Toronto gets less snow than MN, IA and many other US states and is similar to Chicago weather.
In Canada you can apply for Citizenship after 3 years of living in Canada as Permanent Resident. You can't travel to US just coz you have Canada PR, you need a US visitor visa but it is easy to get and if you apply visitor visa from Canada they give it to you for 10 years.

And lastly, just because you have Canada citizenship does not mean you can come to US and work permanently. You can work under TN Visa only if you qualify under one of the NAFTA job listed. You can also apply for H1 or L visa.
