Yeah they're just as Canadian as I am.
There's no assumption of nationality based on skin color in Canada.
If I see an Asian person in Canada I usually assume they're Canadian and speak English just as well as I do, for example.
I didn't consider such people to be foreigners, they're citizens as I am.
The same is true in Japan but to a much smaller extent than Canada.
In Japan it's a safe bet to generalize and assume someone's nationality based on skin color, the cases where you'd be wrong are very few.
In Canada if you tried the same thing you'd get a rude awakening.
