huh?
the supposed percentages have to do with what, exactly?

You are most obviously drunk
The 820,000 are Canadian's living in the US, which would be divided by Canada's population to get their %, not the US's.
The gross number of Canadians living in the US is greater than the gross number of US citizens living in Canada, without even looking at population sizes. Add in that the US population is almost bigger than Canada's by a factor of 10, and it seems that it is far more common for a Canadian to come live in the US than a US citizen to move to Canada.
What does this mean? I could mean many things, but what it means directly is the US has something that Canadians want. Perhaps their system is not the best of both worlds, but just another system.
