Is there ANY advantages of being a citizen of the USA to move to Canada?

No, you have to qualify to emigrate. If you are not in a c/law relationship or spousal you can only enter as a visitor for a limited time. Suggest you look at www.cic.gc.ca to see what your options are. If you have a specific skill it is possible, if you can find an employer who is willing to get a labour market opinion from HRSDC, to obtain an work permit allowing you to work in Canada.

The one major benefit to being an American is that a potential employer would not need to get a Labour Market Opinion to hire you if you worked in one of the NAFTA-covered professions:

This means if you work in one of these professions, and have the proper credential, you could take a job and move to Canada almost immediately while you work on getting your permanent residence.
