If you want a better quality of life (Healthcare, Education, Crime Rate Etc) - choose Canada.
If you want more money and wider career opportunities - choose USA.
Regarding comparisons between Canada PR and US GC - they are not very different. If you are NOT born in India or China, getting a US greencard is no problem because there is no backlog. It does not take that long(PERM LABOR, I-140 and I-485) - maximum 2 years.
So for all those who have applied for US and Canada as a backup(other than those born in India or China) - DONT PANIC. As long as your documents are in order, you will get your US Green Card without delay.
ALWAYS REMEMBER 1 FACT ::
Total Number of Permanent Residents(Green Cards) taken by USA every year = 1.1 Million (www.dhs.gov)
Total Number of Permanent Residents(Landed Immigrants) taken by Canada every year = 250,000 (wwww.cic.gc.ca)
The Above Numbers speak for themselves - both USA and Canada still welcome a lot of immigrants every year depending on their populations.

Keep you US option open, Canadian move might not work out. I know three of my friends with H1b, went to Canada on PR and worked for few months and came back to US--- Just a suggestion.
Canada is a good place to live. Good social benefits, you just have to get a start and deal with weather. Best of luck-
I am on H1B in US .. and have applied for Pr from ND. I dont understand that why is it illegel to stay in US without passport ?
I am planning to send my passport to ND through my husband(who works in india) and will wait for them to return ... me staying in US .
Is this thing illegal?
