11. I don't know what part of the US you're from, or what kind of an accent you have, but

if asked what part of Canada you're from, you might want to say Vancouver. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and when I was in Vancouver, everybody thought I was a native, 'cause the SF accent is exactly the same as in Vancouver. Once you get past the Rockies into Calgary and parts east the standard Canadian accent kicks in with lots of ":ehhs" and other features not heard in any part of the US.
