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”
You don't sound like you think you do, unfortunately.
Also, I can try to be gentle but sorry, if you do have an accent it doesn't how long you've been here or what your visa or citizenship status is, you will always be a foreigner. Married to a foreigner here, the struggle is real.
Am Canadian (naturalized in the states only a couple of years ago) and have been asked that
Nope, I am American and have a strong Southern accent and get asked every time too. It’s a check-the-box exercise they have to do.
I’m asked this regularly and have no accent, nothing “international sounding” about my name, never lived outside the US, etc. I think many of them just ask it as part of their routine.
I have a Canadian accent and can confirm that they do ask.
You can have lived many years in the US without being born here and return later for a job, I know many Mexican Americans in my company that come with visa sponsorship and perfect accent, Canadians are another case.
I think they are required to ask if you did not indicate when applying.
White guy, white name, and southern accent… recruiters still ask me about my visa status… I think it’s a standard thing now adays
I think every application asks that now. Every time I apply and fill out an online application I am asked.
I think recruiters with established HR structures will always ask. However, I do think that foreign accents prompts a bias. But you can’t do much about it if you have one.
I think it’s a standard question. No need to take an offense for it.
