As a Canadian, it seemed like at least 30% of remote employers were open to hiring from Canada (although it was often marked incorrectly in your system).

At the very least, a couple of U.S. companies with remote positions that claimed to be U.S. only (or "work authorization required?"), reached out to me.

Did they actually check your location or reached out randomly? Or, were they expecting you to relocate? I'm located in Switzerland and get often such bogus messages from German companies (although not on Triplebyte but I assume the bad habits are universal).

I think 2 companies reached out to me that said U.S. only in the job descriptions.

But I think some companies select U.S. only because Americans tend forget about other countries where people may be in the same time zone.

It's possible German companies are reluctant to engage with a Swiss person because German salaries are lower than what I understand Swiss salaries to be (German CoL is also much lower though)
