Ok; all I can say is what the statistics indicate. It seems like at least some Canadians accept assignments which result in business travel to the US. As with the OC, this may result in more desirable employees to Canadian employers who wish to continue to do business with the US, hence the original question.

In other words, Canadians aren’t going to the US unless someone pays them for it. That’s pretty negative sentiment.

Oh sure. But the important thing -- especially for the OC, who is having a rough time in the job market -- is getting paid to do it.
