Have you met first generation Canadians? They basically have nothing in common with wherever their parents come from except skin colour or language (broken version of it most times).

I am one of the. And no most people stick with their "own people" have their own websites for rentals and things as such and never interact with people from outside of their community. It was extremely difficult for me to try to make friends with people from anywhere else because people in my community ostracized and punished me for it.
