The Canadian definition of immigrant is permanent resident basically:

Immigrant refers to a person who is, or who has ever been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident. Such a person has been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities.

Most Ukrainians who entered Canada recently came on a temporary 3 year work permit

Ive lived in both and im not a citizen of either country… Canadian immigration is wayy easier than US immigration.. Canadian immigration if you have enough education and work experience you can get enough points to immigrate… the US is almost impossible unless you are extraordinary enough to get H1B sponsorship or have US citizen family members that can sponsor your green card… the reason I moved from the US to Canada was because I couldn’t stay in the US and i know many people who work in tech (mostly from India) who did the same..
