I think the issue is the name of the species, not their citizenship.
There are Canada Geese who live up here and migrate south for the
winter. Lots of them move to southern Ontario where they can still find
open water, and many others fly further south in the US. There are also
Canada geese who spend their entire lives there. In fact the hunting
seasons are set up to differentiate. I can't remember if it is open
during the migration so they can pick off the illegal aliens, or if it
is closed down during the migration to allow them to pass through.
