Being an immigrant or refugee in Canada can feel like you’re living two lives. There is the life you currently lead, with all its challenges and successes, and there is the life you could be leading had you stayed in your first country. The feeling of this “second life” is all the more compelling because it’s all suppositional; you can never really know what your life would have been like had you not come to Canada. This “second life” can be so vivid that when an immigrant returns to their first country, they can be shocked by the reality of how things have changed.
