I bet that none will wind up in Canada. The scenario here is being fired in USA, and the visa holder clearly want to be in USA, not Canada, otherwise they'd be in Canada already. So the scenario lets say comes to pass, mass USA layoffs at tech companies hiring H1Bs. Why would Canadian tech companies (Which tech companies BTW?) be hiring while everyone else is firing the cheapest labor force available? Just my thoughts. I have worked with many visa holders in USA and their biggest fear is layoffs due to having to leave USA. But every visa holder I know who was laid off (had a big layoff at my company), was hired less than 1 month after they layoff in USA.
