I would think that: one's citizenship, acquired or birth right, is and
should be, the criteria for this. A Canadian Goan would mean, that the
person is a Canadian citizen and happens to come from Goa India, the
previous nationality. Similarly, a Goan Canadian would mean that he is a
Goan Indian, or of Indian origin but residing in Canada; aiming or not for
Canadian citizenship.
The above is my contention! I would like to hear more on this from other
goanetters. Viva Goa!
