when did you move to Canada and from where
Moved here in 1989 with my parents and younger brother when I was 7. I was born in Abu Dhabi, UAE, but since Arab countries don't grant citizenship to babies born on their soil, I got my parents citizenship. My parents are Palestinians, which essentially means were stateless. The first and only citizenship I ever had was Canadian.
Do you miss or feel a connection to your "Old Country"
I don't miss it, but I do get nostalgic sometimes. Especially the food and weather in Abu Dhabi. I do identify myself as an Arab though. I speak Arabic fairly fluently and I do identify to some extent with Arab culture.
Do you feel Canadian
Yes 100%.
