Isn't Canada in America as well? 🤔🤔 Or did you all move to another continent?

Learn geography please. Canada and America are both on the North American continent.

So the answer is yes? Also, I think you mean the United States in your reply, not America.

Canada is in America, depending on your definition of continents.

Check out what other languages call this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas

Nearly all other languages refer to the two landmasses as "America", not "Americas". North America is the northern part of America, South America is the southern part.
