I was told I was nice because I was Canadian. I wanted to say "I am not Canadian, but maybe I have learnt being nice after living in Canada for a while". I came up with this sentence, but I believe "take" and "habit" might not be the best words to use. What can I use instead?

Maybe after years of living in Canada, I have taken that habit.

    You could say, "Maybe after years of living in Canada, I have been assimilated."

You could say that you have taken on the habit or adopted the habit or just that you have learned the habit.

There is nothing wrong with habit, but you could also say "I've learned to do things the Canadian way" or "I've adopted the Canadian way of doing things".

I would say in everyday language:

I've gotten into the habit of being nice.

to get into the habit of doing something.= idiom

[British English: I've got into the habit of being nice.]
