Americans' views of Canada can be all over the map both literally and figuratively.
Though you're probably right that perceptions that it's all or mostly French are concentrated in the northeast - I actually think it extends further than New England though, into other parts of the BosNYWash corridor.
I find that even in the NYC area a lot of people seem to overestimate the overall Frenchness of Canada. Of course Montreal is closer to NYC and a straight shot north, whereas Toronto is further away and the routing to get there is kinda complicated.
