@fabio I meant the use of "imigrante" to describe Brazilian citizens living in other countries.
@evan I get it, but everything is related. Brazil is a weird place, worth visiting.

@evan But yes, e.g. my mom says “Fabio immigrated to Canada, he’s an immigrant there”

@renata @mayintoronto @fabio So, when you're in Brazil, how do you talk about brasileiros no externo ? I think it's a pretty big population, about 5m people? That's a big percentage of the total citizenship, around 200m, right? Is it an identity that you embrace, or do you mostly say "I live in Canada" or "I'm Canadian"?
@evan @mayintoronto @fabio A lot of people just say “brasileiros no exterior” - I don’t identify with that. I’m a Brazilian-Canadian.
I truly never identified with Brazil as a country for a bunch of reasons and Canada embraced me so much since the day I arrived, I am a very proud Canadian.
Every time I go to Brazil it’s not a good experience for me. I miss being at home and home is Canada. It will always be.

@evan @renata @mayintoronto I describe myself as both, depending. I feel more Canadian these days because I never felt 100% Brazilian even before I moved. Also it’s been 16 years and I don’t go back that much. When I’m there I feel like a gringo visitor most of the time - and here I’m slightly exotic.

@evan @renata @mayintoronto Also I think people who describe themselves as “Brasileiros no exterior” don’t quite embrace the country they moved to. One could write many academic papers about his sort of thing!

@renata @evan @mayintoronto @fabio I usually identify as Brazilian but last week I was imagining some kind of conversation and called myself "Canadian" in my head for the first time (I moved here in 2021).
I also often say I'm from <city where I moved for university and lived for 8 years> rather than <city I was born in and lived for 16 years>.

@MJmusicinears I didn’t think of armed forces, or diplomats for that matter.
It is a complex web.

@rakoo @mayintoronto @fabio @evan to me, "expat" carries with it the expectation that you will eventually return to home country. Immigrant does not.

@dancer_storm I love this for you!!
My parents brought me here as a young kid and I was told we were probably never going back home. It was nice that all the kids around me looked different too, and they were all (probably) Canadians.
In my head, it wasn't long before I thought "I guess I'm a Canadian now?"

@rakoo @mayintoronto @fabio there are some other words for French citizens living abroad that are used here in Montreal.

@odisseaquotidiana ormai dimostrato che solo metro come la C che impediscono fisicamente l'accesso ai binari salvano vite
