I immigrated from Canada to the US so you can take my spot. <grin>
The health care system isn't nearly as bad as Americans make it out to be. But yeah, they do ration it. A lot of systems like MRIs simply aren't that common. So be prepared to be frustrated if they decide you don't have a condition that needs immediate treatment.
Canada has the strongest economy they've ever had at the moment. However be prepared. A strong Canadian economy is still much weaker than a weak American economy. But by and large menial jobs in Canada pay quite well. The government makes it so you can actually live on working in a grocery store or a gas station. I'm not sure that's right, but by and large Canadians like it.
It is pretty. There's a lot more regulation in Canada though. You may get frustrated. Vancouver is a beautiful area but the speed limits and police controls drive me crazy. The speed limit in most places is 45 mph and they enforce it so badly that most people drive under the limit, just in case.
If I had to live in Canada I'd pick Alberta. It has the strongest economy in the country and is much more American that most places. Stay away from the east coast. Very, very high unemployment. (I'm from Nova Scotia) A little run down as well.
Some people love Canada. I get very frustrated there even though I think it is far more beautiful than the US. I love in particular the Canadian rockies.
As an American you shouldn't have much trouble immigrating. If you aren't used to a high standard of living you'll like it there a lot. A lot of Americans who are middle class don't like it up there though. Overall it ends up being more expensive. (IMO)
