I haven't seen anything about Canadian pilots being hired by US carriers yet, however to answer your second question, WestJet and Air Canada are having no issues finding pilots, their regionals are starting to feel a pinch, like the regionals in the US, maybe just a year or two behind.

Why is it that only the USA has such crazy hour requirements and hoops to jump through? "Temporarily" (hopefully) working as an instructor to foreign students. I'll be extremely lucky to get a job flying a King Air while my former students will be jetting across the world in transport category aircraft.

A 250 hour pilot can fly a 777. The problem is that after a few years, they still won't have the real world experience needed to upgrade and if they did, it would be dangerous if they got paired with another 250 hour pilot.
