It would be bad for Canada to surrender its sovereignty to the U.S.. However, on the other hand, it would be very good for all if the U.S. and Canada became much closer. The traveling and interaction between the two nations should be seamless for most people of both nations. The way to do that is to better control who enters North America. This should include Mexico.
On the subject of sovereignty. I am living in the U.S. because I goofed in my efforts to become a Canadian way back when. I am sort of a globalist in my views. If the world was one nation with a good practical democratic government things would be a lot better. That, I'll admit is a Utopian idea for the time being. I do not object to the U.S. and Canada becoming one nation unless it means that Canada becomes a part of the U.S.. I strongly object to that. If the two nations could come up with a new form of government society that would be more humane (i.e., like Canada) I would gladly support the creation of a North American nation that not only included Canada and the U.S. but also Mexico. There are some things very bad about the american system and society that Canada has tried to deal with by not being so "gun ho" capitalistic. There are a lot more things that could be done which are not. One of these is the recognition that health of the population should not be left solely to the whims and greed of the health industry. I do not think that Canada has gotten it correct but, at least the idea that health care should not depend upon the ability to pay very high fees is in the right direction. The Americans who swallow the line that Canada's health care systems is not working because it is a mixed socialist system should recognize that the per capital spending in Canada back before the steep reduction in federal spending started was maybe under 50% of what is spent in the U.S.. The Canadian situation got worse when the current government started reducing its payment. I also like Canada's approach to guns. The U.S.'s approach to guns is very bad. The U.S. government is to beholden to special interests with influence. This is bad. Canada may also have the same problem. One solution would be for the U.S. elected people to have term limitations of one term that could be six or ten years. Maybe, just maybe, they will not be so beholden to those groups which can influence them with votes and money. The lobby industry is bad.
