An Indian woman who has been living in Canada for the last three years received backlash from social media for the accent in her answers to the questions posed to her.
In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the woman could be heard telling that she was from Ottawa and found Toronto better than the country's capital and added that she missed nothing about India except her parents.

Several users commented on the video, which has gone viral, criticising the woman for her accent.
"My uncle and aunt been in Canada for 20 years. Citizens, kids born there, yet not an ounce of accent. Sticking to your accent shows the level of mental security you have over faking one like this," one user wrote.
"Kamran Akmal speaks better English than her," another user wrote.
"In three years madam has changed the accent and style of talking. Only show how much mentally enslaved we are that we just can't help but ape the west. no individuality of their own," a third user wrote.
The video comes weeks after another woman studying in Canada was slammed for saying that it was her dream to leave India and her favourite part of living in Canada was getting to see sunrise and sunset.
Later, Truecaller CEO Alan Mamedi wrote in support of the woman and offered her a job in any Truecaller office around the world after she graduated.
