Try immigrating to Canada from the US. Nobody here would ever consider me a 'true' immigrant, even though that is quite literally what I am.
I moved for school and never came back. All my family and personal ties were left behind in the states. Except for my family and the annoying need to file taxes every year for some fucking reason, I have no ties left to the US.
But Im white and culturally similar enough that the label 'immigrant' would feel funny to people here. It really is wacky.
Anyone with kids knows you have baby clothes that your perfectly healthy kid just never wore. Because holy shit when people learn youre having a baby they throw clothes at you.
