Hi mbaMission!
I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
Would anyone be able to give me insight on how schools determine a candidate's ethnicity/nationality? Is it by country of birth, where you were raised or what countries you’re a citizen of?
I was raised in Africa, my family has been there for 4 generations. When I was about 7 years of age, my family moved to Canada and have been here since but was born in India (the African city we lived in had far worse medical care so she went to India to give birth).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, rialbs2022, hmmmm that's a great question and I am not EXACTLY sure how they categorize things, but I suspect most of the time they are marking country of citizenship in the charts that you might see on international representation. It is whatever you'd put under "Nationality" on your application form. That said, when the admissions committee reps are making their decisions, your entire journey will definitely count, and there are no hard quotas on any single country, so I don't think you need to be too worried about this. Hopefully you will be bringing your full and rich gamut of experiences into the application. I for one would be curious to hear more about your story, and I am sure they will feel that way too!

So you're ethnicity is mixed. That is amazing. However, you must choose the nationality that you "choose to identify as or under" under the Nationality section. There is also a section on Dual nationality so you can use that. P.S. You are not Indian. You'll have nationality of Canada and Africa. Indian nationals have to be born and raised in India to be nationals much as I know when I got my domicile
