When will I feel Canadian? We've talked about this here, and I think it's very interesting - questions of nationality, identity, how the two are the same or different.
When we were in Peru, our first time out of North America since emigrating here, people asked, "¿De qué país es usted?". What country are you from? We were so happy to say "de Canada"! And that's true, we are from Canada.
But when will I be Canadian?
Citizenship questions aside, here's my theory. I'll know I'm Canadian when I pronounce "Ottawa" and "hockey" the way people do here.
Those words are a dead giveaway. How do you guys do it?
