Thanks. It's just, I can't lose Canadian PR, but I'd prefer US PR. Everyone I talk to tells me to get a citizenship first and go through TN route.

I have a Master's degree from the US. I just don't know anyone who got a green card though NIW. I will do some research on this.
For me just go with Citizenship first, it creates a safety net. I had done some thinking on this, the reason why I want a residency status in either US or Canada is because I don't want to be in a scenario wherein I have to involuntarily return to the country where I'm originally from.

The only thing that you are truly missing out is the 3-4 years wait, and salary difference.

Once you become a Canadian citizen, you can go to the US under TN1, or H1 and it no longer feels a race to get GC; you can take it slowly now.

I would probably try my luck in the US eventually, but for now Citizenship first.
