For good or ill, I think the layout most likely to get recognized as Canadian will be the Canadian Multilingual one instead.

The CMS at least has the accents but it's horrible even for this Frenchie... Canadian French is in every way better (for FRENCH Canadians; IMHO and I assume). Though both are software. There's English Canadian too in there.

In Canada, the keyboards you'll find are either US layout or ISO CMS layout. I used to type on CMS with AZERTY french settings and just used the AZERTYUIOP as the home row: had the Enter close enough and all vowels in 1 row it just sucked that the shift keys were further.

False. I’ve never worked for the government and used that layout in the past, although I’m functional with the two Canadian layouts along with “US layout” if I am only working in a terminal with no accents :)
