@Kryten Thanks for the ! Just a question though: having grown up identifying as an "expat" what is the difference between an expat and an immigrant?

I've thought about it a lot lately given the political climate... Thoughts?

@Paulrus Interesting... I've never really put much thought into it. I'm a dual-citizen: a US immigrant to Canada as a child, now returned to US for school (followed by marriage, etc.). I guess it has to do with how you identify. I'm proud of my Canadian-ness - therefore Canadian expat living in US ☺
