I think you brought up some very interesting points, I myself am not an immigrant but my parents are so I have had encounters with how immigrants feel. My parents and family also don't feel like exiles and I don't think they've ever even thought of it that way because they wanted to come here and start a new life. But sometimes my parents do talk about going back home and visiting India but when they go there they don't feel like they fit in there anymore now and want to come back home to Canada. In this situation it can be hard to understand what home is, I also wonder if both Canada and India are both states of exile for them? I think we think this way because we are so used to belonging to one nation and one territory; I learned about this idea of territorial boundaries in my Sociology of Migration class.
