Since it's getting cold, people called "Snowbirds" are leaving Canada for
USA. They are allowed to stay forĀ 182 days.
Yep. Generally speaking, it is easiest for Canadians (i.e. bearers of
Canadian passports) to enter the United States. The only thing easier
is if you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident returning to the
U.S. It's a more relaxed system because people in border communities
(for example: Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario) tend to cross
the border frequently. Migration between the U.S. and Canada is
governed by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which allows
several different kinds of documentation instead of a passport:

For what it's worth, though, it isn't like the old days where a birth
certificate or voter registration would have been enough.

The waiting times will probably be pretty short for Canadians (in
those cases where they need visas). I would expect foreign nationals
to have quite a long wait, since the US consulate in Canada won't have
experts on Iranians and what checks need to done and won't have
systems in place to do those checks quickly. Countries bordering Iran
probably do such checks reasonably frequently, so would probably be
quicker.
