I'm pretty sure Americans move around more than Canadians too.
On the other hand, if you count the fact that there are more foreign-born Canadians than foreign born Americans, chances are a Canadian is more likely themselves, or to have family that crossed an ocean from their place of birth/youth (which adds more mileage)
Huh? Did you mean that as a percentage of the population because there is something like 40 Million foreign born people in the USA; many do not (yet) have citizenship.
How far back is that; 1600s/1700s? I'm 3rd generation, myself.I think I may have everyone in this thread beat.
I am ninth generation Torontonian.
Not just Canadian, but Torontonian. My grandma and I traced our roots back 9 generations. She was 7th, my dad was 8th, I'm 9th and if I have a child he will be 10th. Not bad eh?
It may sound weird, but I have a crazy visceral connection to this city that all my friends make fun of. I feel like this is MY city. I get homesick when I travel anywhere, and as much as I like a trip I get super excited when I land back in Toronto. I think this city is literally in my blood.
