Since you grew up in Canada (I'm assuming in a Canadian family/environment) you are just Canadian. You probably connect to Canadians more than to any other people. If you see an Italian person, do you connect to that person at a deep level as a result of a common culture/identity?

Well yes I certainly do feel a connection to other Canadians but I do also feel some connection to an Italian or a Finn or an Irish person if I meet them to some degree because I know that some of my ancestry also came from those areas.

That's not really helpful. He should identify with Canada and Canadians. It's a good country with an interesting history, and a good identity to have

Yes but are Canadians an ethnic group or separate ethnicity?
