That is... Weird. I'm a Canadian who does business in US (but I do not reside or physically work there). I have always understood TN as the way to go. I have relatives on L-1 and P-1 visas and I always give the L-1 guy a hard time because the path to become a citizen is beholden to his (now bankrupt) employer. Never even considered that any of us would qualify for H1B. I suspect it is "lazy" legal departments who just file Canadians with all of their international people.
