I decided to put that to the test. She was from Canada, and so some conversations later, I made up a lie that my dad studied at the University of Toronto and that I was born there. I even said Toronto the Canadian way to really get the bit across. I said my dad studied electrical engineering there for his masters. True, my dad did receive a masters in electrical engineering but that was in Michigan, not Canada. Still, changing a few locations is easier than making up a complete lie. I said I had both Canadian and American passports. I do have two passports, just not a Canadian one.
