When did you move to Canada and from where
Moved from England in 1984. My parents were originally refugees who escaped Uganda to England in 1972 when Idi Amin kicked all the Indians out. I was born in 1979 and we moved to Canada in 1984. My dad told me that they picked Canada because they had Canadian teachers in middle school to teach them English and they always really liked them. The Canadians would always tell them about Canada. My dad would actually visit Canada in 1977 with his brothers and they were blown away by the natural beauty. Someone should have told them about the winters hahaha.
Do you miss or feel a connection to your "Old Country"
Not really. My mom's side still lives in England so I have gone back a few times. I like it there but I feel more of a connection to my relatives rather than the country. I definitely don't feel "British" even though I have dual citizenship.
