Canadian Americans (French: Américains canadiens) are American citizens or in some uses residents whose ancestry is wholly or partly Canadian, or citizens of either country who hold dual citizenship.

This cultural "invisibility" within the larger US population is seen as creating stronger affinity among Canadians living in the US than might otherwise exist.

In some regions of the United States, especially New England or the Midwest, a Canadian American often means one whose ancestors came from Canada.

The bill allows state officials to hold ceremonies at the capitol and other places each year to honor Americans of Canadian ancestry.

Canadian courts readily reject the Jay Treaty free passage of goods right.
