Looking over the pond!!

Hey there guys and girls, Im sure similar questions have been asked many a time in the past but im wondering what the situation is like now in the post covid world!

Im a 41 year old 737 FO with nearly 3000 hours TT (2700 on the 73) with a European low cost. Im approaching command here and whilst i do love the job, im starting to think longer terms about how i want to live out the rest of my working life. I know a move across the pond would involve a lot of licensing headaches but it doesnt seem impossible on that front, especially if the rewards were worth it.

As it stands, myself and most of my colleagues are looking over to the US market at the moment with a fair bit of envy, as i am sure most of you north of the border are too! I hold a UK and Canadian passport and i am wondering if any of the improvements seen in the US employment conditions are starting to be seen north of the border? Also, Is there any route for a Canadian to get a job in the US that is more favourable than that which is open to us here in Europe? Any thoughts around these points would be appreciated
