non-native of Maritime provinces of Canada = come-from-away
Martha's Vineyard (known locally as 'The Vineyard') & neighbouring island of Nantucket call anyone born elsewhere as from 'off.' However, it's a bit more subtle as your family must live there for several generations before you are called an islander.
The story goes that a woman (born off island) complained her children were born on the Vineyard but still not considered islanders. The reply was something to the effect that if your cat had kittens in the oven you wouldn't call them buns.

I sometimes wonder how long ... how many generations it takes ... to stop being an 'incomer' ... I've lived here nearly 28 years; my son was born here, the kids went to school here ... yet I'm still an incomer, just like people who moved into the village only a month ago !   And the daft thing is, that 90% of the village population are incomers now, which wasn't the case when I first moved here !

Lydart .. that must mean that 90% of the village has moved out since you arrived?  :(

...and I wonder who would class themselves as true Cockneys, and what percentage of the present population of London are true Cockneys...

Oh very droll, Pels !   

(But yes, you could be right !   There were about six active farms, with proper farmers when we  came; now I think there are two or possibly three).    I could probably count the village resident families that have been here longer than us on two hands ... village population is around 400 - 420
