I don't know how someone from Uzbekistan could be confused with a Canadian...that seems weird to me.\n\nPeople are concerned because either they are just curious or they have issues. Mostly I think people are just curious about things like that and it's a conversation piece. Either way, it's not your problem because you shouldn't care...she's your girl, not theirs!

No, unless your uncle is a Canadian citizen.  And why not US?

I've never felt Canadians by and large had this attitude. But it is a fairly liberal country. That doesn't mean liberalism is bad, but some liberals, and I prefer to be called liberal, are very arrogant and think others are barbarians in comparison to them. That is my honest observation.

I've done travelling throughout Europe and North America and today I would think that Canadians are the friendliest towards tourists and immigrants.  In general, the Brit's tend to be more conservative and yet are open and curious about other cultures.  A couple of years ago I would have said that Australians would win this little contest but there seems to be a growing climate of rascism which is frightening. Many people from the U.S. tend to be unaware of global cultures and politics and yet can still come across as arrogant.  One of the biggest differences between Canada and the U.S. is that the U.S. considers itself a "melting pot" of different cultures while Canada sees itself as a mosiac, where cultures can co-exist independantly.  I think there's a lot of factors to consider before this could really be answered. ie: people in large urban areas tend to be far more accepting of different nationalities than those in rural areas, people who have directly experienced acts of terror tend to be a little less likely to be open with strangers (to put it mildly), etc.  Interesting question.

I wish more people shared your concern, and for the reasons you do, because they are for the right ones. You are not racist, I would be just as upset if Canadians were here taking advantage of our system! Unfortunately it is so out of control I dont know how the problem can be resolved w/o drastic actions, which the gov. is not willing to take.

is this the infamous way to ask stupid questions? and you were the guy who answers serious, sensible questions like a pig and thinks you're so 'clever', 'high' and 'mighty' yet your own questions are ridiculous. You tell people to shut up, mind their own bussiness...you seem to hate the world.Seems you get satisfaction in lambasting serious questions, is that how u feed your oversized ego?  and  IF you have nothing nice/sensible enough to say, just dont answer!Are you a canadian? american?and dont tell me to mind my own business, that's a so stale statement.I believe im also entitled to my own opinion

Why exclude Canadians? They would seem to be the ones best qualified to tell you what life in Canada is like. They LIVE there, for fu*ks sake!

it's the women.  namely it's where i'm coming from and have been, at least it was like that for a while, wanting to take the good of you and leave the bad from my culture to make it better for the both of us.  i don't mean "you," specifically, just a chinese girl i'll marry eventually.\n\ni could see where your canadian wouldn't care much for his homogenous women; since it would allow him to hide in his mind and dream about that one day where he'll be infinitely happy with you. maybe it gives him time to become better and smarter, and maybe his women don't value this confucian quality that emanates from all of you.  european and american women have put less emphasis on the family, and the roles we each have, and our obligations and duties to our spouses, and our children.  So your boyfriend probably thought "enough is enough," he'll just learn as much as possible and keep away from the women around him, build himself up, because women are a waste of time, or chasing them are at least, and if he had a woman at the moment, talking to her would kill him since the moment we open up our mouths over here is when we ruin our chances.  since women here don't want you to solve their problems.  talking is forbidden here, any form of communication beyond the sexual is a waste of time if you want to keep a woman here.  naturally that is an exaggeration, because some women do like smart men, but that isn't a requirement; whereas, in china, you put a high price on the pursuit of knowledge.

Because no one here is really native to this land, other than the true Native Americans.  I answer, Canadian - but I can break it down even more than that.  Many people have parents that are from the 'old country'.  I think these questions are asked to learn more about where someone's last name comes from, but more so, just a friendly and non-intrusive way to carry on a conversation.  \n\nOh and on a side note, thanks for your best answer rating - I find you all over the place 'out here'  perhaps you could write to me?

In US you need to prove that you  are marrying the woman because u love her and not for the purpose of immigrating. If they find out you married for immigration u can be put into jail. Immigrating to Canada is very easy. Just go to http://www.canada.gc.ca and take the immigration quiz.

There are no Canadian women.  All the children are imported.\n\nCome on, what kind of question is that?

Canadians are actually known for saying "eh" at the end of sentences...however, I'm a Canadian and have yet to ever do that. Stereotype? I think so. Some do, most don't. Depends on which part of Canada you live in.

I think that most people have an open mind on issues between Canada and the United States. I live on the east coast of Canada and many of our citizens have sought travel, work and schooling to the United States in our modern times. You have to judge a person by their respect for each other not their culture or origin.\n\nAs a Junior High School student in Canada(60's), my geography class had to learn the name of each State, their capitals and a product of each region. \n\nMy wife and I just returned from a visit to CT and RI where we stayed with friends that she made while working for Collette Vacations, a US based Travel Company.\n\nThe First Nation People from Quebec,Canada and Upper New York, former fisherman from the Canadian Maritime Region especially Newfoundland worked in the high steel industry helping to build the "Empire State Building" in New York, New York. They were referred to with great respect as "The Indian Crew" and "The Fish Crew", many of the relatives of these original steel workers assisted in the rescue and recovery efforts during 9-11.
