HII there I am going to Canada soon and i am from India. I have a little doubt in my mind that am I going to face English accent problems there because my accent is ENGLAND's. Problems like spelling example colour(uk) and color. Pronunciation of duty in our way it is dewty and dooty(America) and also been in our way is bean and in America bin.
so these were some examples to tell you what I am saying. will there any problems in job interviews etc?

You're not going to have problems if your primary language is English. Canadians speak and write like people in the upper midwestern US. In America we have no problem understanding English people. Sometimes the Northern English accents can be a bit more thick but as long as you don't mumble people will understand you. Spelling "or" words with "our" is not a problem. Sometimes I do that accidentally. Americans that are especially fond of English culture do it on purpose.



In Canada you will have even fewer problems. If anything, people will like you more because you have a cool accent.

You most likely will not run into any problems. Try to speak clearly and somewhat slowly, because sometimes when I talk to people with English accents, it's sometimes a little hard to understand them.



Also, just remember that Canada used to be owned by the French, so they have accents as well

specific, I surely can because of the fact my father speaks with a clean England accessory and has Irish ancestry. My grandfather speaks with a Lancashire accessory. yet i understand many human beings right here who understand not something approximately Welsh accents and a few human beings even think of that Scottish/Irish accents are an identical!

Generally yes. there are problems when a foreigner ( i am from india) talks to you in their accent. and sometimes you feel like hearing a word differently. like if he says a particular word like 'bean' it may look 'bin' to you in same pronounciation. but you need to understand their language effect properly and keep your accent how it is. just give it a feeling of hearing.

there are some differences. every here and then they won't understand you, but you just have to adapt. it's not that hard to, really.



a lot of people like foreign accents anyways, they think it's fun
