When you meet someone from another country, you can ask: “Where are you from?” or “Where do you come from?“
Acceptable answers can be: “I’m from Canada!” or “I’m Canadian!”

Notice that to say your nationality, you do NOT say: ‘My nationality is [ ].‘ You simply say: ‘I’m [ ].’
If you want to use your country instead of your nationality, you say: ‘I’m from [ ].‘
