Immigrant or Not?

So just curious as to how many people were born in Canada and how many were not...

Also include how old you were when you moved to Canada and what year and from where.

I'll start
Moved here in 1996 from Croatia, I was 12.

Adding where you moved from would be a great idea

Hey
I am not a lumberjack, or a fur trader.
I don't live in an igloo,
or eat blubber, or own a dogsled,
and I don't know Jimmy, Suzy, or Sally from Canada,
although I am certain they are really, really nice.


I have a Prime Minister, not a President
I speak English and French, not American
I pronounce it "About" not "a boot"
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack
I believe in Peacekeeping, not policing
Diversity, not Assimilation
and that the Beaver is a proud and noble animal.
The Toque is a hat,
A Chesterfield is a couch,
and "Z" is pronounced "ZED" not "ZEE", "ZED"
Canada is the second largest land mass,
The first nation of hockey, and
THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!!
My Name is "Joe", and
"IAM CANADIAN!!!"

Nawww...dont say that man.
Being born in Canada is one of the best things that could've happened to us.

I was born in Canada, and just moved to Croatia last June.
But being Canadian born, with my Canadian passport, truly was a blessing.
Think about how much better your life is that you were born in Canada ie EASIER

Did you WANT to be in the war???

I will ALWAYS looooove Canada...but Croatia FTW

It's what I don't get from immigrants. Why do they say living in Canada or the US is a horrible thing when their nation is FAR FAR worse to be raised in or live???

So why did you move to Canada? And you do have a Russian flag...not a Ukrainian.

You're showing a bit of ignorance yourself...
Firstly, its nowhere near "FAR, FAR worse" as you put it.
I'd rather live in Croatia than Canada, thats why i moved here.

But it really depends on the person and what you consider whats important to you and whats a "better" way of living.

I can only speak for Croatia, since i understand daily life here.
Its WAAAAAAY more laid back and stress free than Canada or the US.
There is NO debating this and in general ppl acknowledge Europe as being more laid back.


Bottom line, and this says it all:
N.America: People live to work
Europe: People work to live

See the difference?
If you cant understand that, then theres no point in going any further.

I can see th difference. But don't you think that's not the case in all of Europe? And besides doesn't Croatia have nice climate?

Like Vrk said, a little ignorant, but let me tell you...

People dont think living here is a HORRIBLE thing, but its just something they are not used to, as life here is work work, and its much less social..

I can get used to it, and I have, but my parents for example never will... and before you even ask, then WHy did they move here or Why dont they go back?? Well they moved here for my sister and I, so we can have better opportunities...

Yup, 100% agree. It's something some people don't understand untill they experience it.

Finaly, i dont want anyone to get me wrong. I like living in Canada.
