Technically, yes, being that Canada is in the continent of America. However, they are not US citizens (colloquially known as Americans).
To recap, Canadians are Americans in the sense that they come from the continent called America (more specifically North America), but they are not USA people.
Answer:
Equally to the above, someone from Brazil, or Chile, or Peru, is American as well; they are South American.
Traditions for those from the United States to claim themselves as the only 'americans' has evolved over time, possibly due to the limited exposure US residents have to geography, social studies, and world-media through local and state controlled public schools.
Schools, following curriculum established by an individual state, rather than nationwide curriculum standards, have often been, and remain, woefully inadequate and lacking in education modules which encompass studies outside of the shores of the US. Evidence of this has been occasionally presented in comical terms through comedians such as Jay Leno, where local americans were asked to identify where the US was on a world map, or locate where a certain state was located as well as placing drawing pins on countries they felt the US should target with bombs.

∙ 12y agoYes. American includes both North and South America, of which both Canada and the United States belong. I believe the question-asker is asking if Canada is the United States, and no, it's not.
--------------------------
No, Canada is a completely separate country from the US, although we share borders, and have a close relationship with America.

∙ 9y agoThey are considered "North American" but not "American". I don't know any Canadian that would consider himself/herself American and I don't know any Americans that would consider Canadian people Americans. The term "American" usually only refers to people from the United States. So in conclusion, the answer is no, Canadians are NOT considered Americans.
