Still wondering about what to write? Here are some frequently asked questions that may help you get started.

1. Can I make it personal?
   Please do! This is about Canadians sharing their experiences with other people. Don't just talk broadly about our two countries -- talk about yourself, a family member, friend, etc.
2. How long should it be?
   Keep it brief (about 200 words) so that people will be able to read your story and share it with others.
3. What should I write about?
   Anything you like, but as this network is about connecting people with a Canadian bond and providing information to Connect2Canada members in the United States, we reserve the right to edit stories or not to publish posts.
4. Can I include a photo?
   A picture would be a great addition to your story. If you have a photo, please upload it when you submit your story.
