How did you get 10x? Because the numbers this article talks about includes temporary visa like student visas.

Looking at US stats (2018 numbers):

- 500k immigrant visas (green cards)

- 9M non-immigrant visas minus 6M B1/B2 visitor visas

So each year, it totals about 3.5M, which is ~10x Canada, so not that far off per capita.

You could argue that staying in Canada after arriving with a temporary visa is much easier than the US, which is true.
