The study found the number of Canadians living abroad relative to the national population was five times higher than the U.S.

I have met a large number of Canadians who have left the country, and they were not super well off. But no where near 1 in 10

They were mostly people who became citizens, then returned to the place they were born for one reason or another.

Sometimes it's realizing that the grass isn't greener, sometimes it someone "back home" gets sick, sometimes it a relationship they have in Canada goes away for one reason or another.
