Leafless, I agree but I just wanted to know if there was an official assimilation policy, would immigrants be required to do the things I listed? Do you think I am assimilated was basically my question. I know it is not required by law to assimilate by I do it anyway since I like the Canadian culture, and I notice it makes the White Canadians like me. I always seem to get a smile at the grocery store etc vs my parents who get a grouchy face.
