One can only hope. I think it is likely our own government is blocking access to work in the U.S. as well. Meaning, they are working with U.S. officials and immigration to stagnate experienced pilots moving south of the border. If the floodgates ever opened, the Canadian airline industry would be hit very hard. Many of the small carriers would cease to exist and the larger ones would have great difficulty keeping experienced members on the pilot list.
