Sorry about the ealier post.

I think most words that are standard in U.S.-English dictionaries would also be standard in Canada.

The first site has quite a bit of information about Canadian English. The second site advertises Canadian-English dictionaries.

You can determine if a word is in standard or non-standard Canadian English by checking Canadian dictionaries, such as The Canadian Oxford Dictionary or the Canadian-English dictionary sites listed in the previous response. Most words that are standard in U.S.-English dictionaries would also be standard in Canada. However, there might be regional or dialect differences that may lead to some variations in usage. Additionally, you can review informational websites on Canadian English to gain a better understanding of standard Canadian vocabulary and language usage.
