A large number (majority?) of these applicants are Indians on h1b in the US using Canada as a backup in lieu of going back to India. It's insurance against layoffs, not being able to get a Green Card, etc.
It remains to be seen how many actually move. And after moving how many actually stay for long or try to come back to the US on a TN or L1 visa.
I would bet most won't end up staying in Canada long term.
