Recruiter here - I ask everyone regardless of name/accent.
Are you from India? Without hearing your voice, my assumption is yes based on how you wrote, and the use of one particular word.
To address your question, American and Canadian are often very similar, with some small nuances in vowel pronunciations.
I am American but have always been asked about sponsorship, possibly due to my name, but likely due to it being a standard question.
I picked on the lack of indefinite articles - “…is potentially international candidate” instead of “…is potentially AN international candidate”
I am from the US and I have been asked this on calls with recruiters

It’s a question asked of every single candidate regardless.
Don’t make this into something it isn’t.
I’m a person of color born in the US.
I’m American with a very common American name and I get asked.
Here’s the thing: this is in every pre-interview screening multiple times. Usually in an application survey before anything else. It’s an important thing to know….
Looks like that question bothers you. Here are few suggestions.Put U.S citizen and then your name in the top of resume. It will help you.
Before you announce your name, say you are a citizen and no need for visa. Then say you name.
First paragraph in the resume should be about not needing visa in a nicer story ( not more than 2 paragraphs). Example, As an US citizen, I have the International strategy experience ...blah,blah I know,You can nail this!
Hope this helps!
Received this in my inbox today and made me think of this thread.
Do you need sponsorship?
OP can answer No in an American accent.
OP - are you a linguist or wondering if there is racial stereotyping? It’s a standard question, recruiter is just doing their job.

I have an accent and they always ask. Doesn’t bother me, and it leads to them telling me about their travels.
It’s part of the checklist. They will ask that to anyone. If you applied online , you have already answered this question , then they may still confirm but not always.
Even if they don’t, I make sure that they know that before moving forward and I bring it up. So that they can be plan the start date, paperwork etc accordingly. It’s in your favor for them and you to be upfront
I have one of the most common first AND last names in America and almost always get asked that question. I mean, it’d be kind of racist to just assume/not assume if someone was American just by their name
Wow. They literally ask everyone lol
Not sure what the big deal is. It’s a standard question that the recruiters ask everyone. They won’t make any assumption based upon your accent or name.
Yeah, I've been asked that a million times and I'm American with no accent. They're trained to ask everyone, bad to make assumptions based on appearance /accent
Yes they ask everyone. It's a standard set of questions.
I am a white male with a white name, 5-year army veteran; the definition of privilege. I have been asked by almost every HR person I’ve ever had a phone screen with.
When I’m screening candidates, I ask every candidate up front the same questions verbatim. Doesn’t matter what your accent is, I need to record whether you’re currently eligible to work, I need to know if you need a visa. I also ask if you’re related to anyone at the firm.
It’s a critical hiring question lmfao. Just tell them you don’t need sponsorship …..

Yeah this is just a standard question they’re supposed to ask every candidate to check the box during every phone screen. Has nothing to do with accent/name/etc.
I’m an American born POC. I get asked every time I speak with a recruiter lol. It’s not a fun question to be asked.
It’s just a standard question though, and I don’t think anyone is asking it because they don’t think you’re American
