The U.S. is the most technologically advanced, innovative country on the planet because it culls the best and brightest. Now an increasing share of said best and brightest are headed to Canada, which should aid in innovation, where Canada tends to be a relative laggard.
And Indian immigrants to the U.S. tend to be particularly elite, with advanced education and high salaries, and they tend to work in innovation industries, meaning the loss to U.S. innovation will be acute.

Yes, it's much easier to immigrate to Canada, and many use Canada as a "bridge" between their home countries and U.S. but even if Canada loses a share to the U.S., they still massively benefit from the overall increased talent.
