The following figures show where these EU immigrants to the US come from. We have divided the EU into four regions.

East: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia

North: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Sweden

South: Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, and Spain
West: Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Looks like 33% came from Eastern Europe, the rest from the North, South and West

Canadians can come down here for 6 months a year to enjoy a nicer climate, they don't need to emigrate and become US citizens.
I was indeed taking "educated guesses" on both Canada and Eastern Europe. Okay, fair enough that if Canadians just want nicer weather they can get it as snowbirds without emigrating, but let's look at Eastern Europe, according to your data:

Eastern Europe's population cohort is the second smallest of four, but yet they account for the highest share of total EU emigration to the US.
