Not exactly. When Canadians say French we often mean French Canadian rather than from France. Conversely, English often means English Canadian rather than from England. We also say London. Sometimes we mean the one in Ontario and sometimes we mean the one on that island off the coast of France. It's not always obvious like you're contending.
