I never felt homesick about my former country. I haven’t been back there since I left for Canada. I get the feeling that when I visit eventually, it’s not going to be a place I recognize or that I’ll even feel connected to.

Canada didn’t feel at home at first but after being here for a while, it now does, especially since I’ve been a permanent resident for a while now. My former country on the other hand may as well be a foreign land.

I’m originally from Latin America. I want to be buried in Canada. Somewhere in Montreal, maybe, under a big tree.

My former country was never much of a home for me, but Canada has been, and Quebec has been my favorite province ever since I visited.

It doesn’t. I’m an immigrant in Canada. I live in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Toronto. I know others like me.

This is not everyone’s story.

If you’re looking for acceptance, then Canada.

Be warned that it’s a perilous journey and that Canada is having some cost of living issues as well.
