This all may be very different in a Canadian context, but I'm guessing if you met someone in Costco and they asked where you were from, they wouldn't ask a follow up question about whether you really were from there or not.
I mean, maybe this is on me for identifying with the place I've lived for all my adult life rather than one of the places I lived as a child, and hence being sensitive when queried.
