Comment: Did I miss something in the article about her parents immigration status? Or is this an assumption based on the colour of her skin? 

Perhaps her parents did immigrate to Canada, perhaps it was her grandparents, or maybe she came on her own. Does it matter?

People who made, and also those who went along with this assumption, simply based on what she looks like need to get with the times and STOP making assumptions on people based on the colour of their skin.
