    I don’t think it’s possible to migrate all contents in multiple site collections from one tenant to another tenant by using PowerShell.

    You could use save site as a template to achieve this. Here’re steps:

    (1)Go to SharePoint Designer, open the site, click Site Options in the ribbon.
    (2)Locate the property SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled and modify the value to True.
    (3)Go to "http://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/site collection name/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx".
    (4)Click include contents.
    (5)Go to solutions under web designer galleries, click the site template, save as file in the desktop.
    (6)Create a new site collection in the central administration, in the template section, choose "Select template later".

    Or you could use ShareGate.
