Immigration AttorneyThe country of origin, or better known as country of chargeability, is usually determined by country of birth. In your case, although you are a citizen of Canada, you will be considered "chargeable" to China, since you were born there. You may be able to take advantage of cross-chargeability benefits, where the principal applicant (you) may be charged to the country of birth of the spouse.
