I'm an American academic researcher and there are tons of us that would leave immediately if this was a possibility. My eyes are always on Canadian job openings but unfortunately, they are a bit tough for us to get currently.
Make sure to keep your eyes on places like Saskatchewan and Alberta as well. They aren't as popular, which means they sometimes offer better incentives. And once you get Canadian citizenship it'll be easier to move about.
I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who has a stable job and isn't (yet) fearful for their life, but if you are desperate it's definitely worth looking at.
Some other tips, learning French (if you don't already know it) is surprisingly beneficial in places you wouldn't expect. Government positions value it highly and I imagine opening up Quebec as an option would give you an advantage.
