I have limited experience with this, but I live in Toronto Ontario (which is in Canada).
I've been to several places in the states, such as New York and Los Angeles. Both of which seem to have English that would be pretty much the same as the English from my home town. Nothing struck them as odd about me, so I fit in like an American.
I think other places in America might have different accents though. Some people just think about the southern accent as being "American" when not all of them talk like that.
The strange thing is, I heard in Europe they can tell the difference between American and Canadian? (is this true)?
I know I was in Malaysia, and some guy asked if I could move to the side a bit for him to sit, and he asked if I was Canadian after I replied.
