i think it depends. i have a friend from germany who has been fighting with immigration for nearly a year now -- he finally gave up and married an american to (hopefully) get his green card...and yet i have another friend from india who is here on a 2-year visa, fully sponsored by his company, and from the sounds of it so long as their funding remains stable they'll continue to sponsor him for as long as he wants to be here.
Still, though, it's considerably easier for me to get into New Zealand or Australia. But, the job I applied for in Toronto the other day is the most likely prospect so far, and not just for there are no immigration issues. While that wouldn't exactly "neighbours", Toronto is only an 8 hour drive from NYC. You can bet your bottom dollar that Elaine and I would be visiting her uncle in Manhattan a lot.
toronto is a nice city, and if that's where you end up it is possible that once there you'll find more opportunities to head south of the border. as i think on it, seems like a lot of people here know people up there, and vice versa.
