Bits and pieces of info are starting to appear indicating US regionals are headhunting Canadian pilots via H1B visas. So, perhaps a thread in this forum would be a place to collect input from Canadians who've made contact with a US regional regarding visa assistance and/or employment...and inform others.
So far, I see Air Wisconsin and Commutair mentioned and wonder what others might be looking at this source of pilots.
Here's the data for Air Wisconsin. The LCAs for H1B visas don't give a country of origin for the visa recipient the way it does for Aussies so it's hard to say for sure the H1Bs are Canadians but AW is getting some pilots on H1Bs:

License process here although if Aussies can start class with only a valid CASA license and emerge with an FAA ATP at the end of new hire school, I'm not sure why Canadians couldn't also do that:
