Learning French in Europe I got told my accent was Parisian when in Montreal(I think they meant European, not ‘good’. but I’ll take it over English lol).

I’m curious about how Canadian French / European French view each others language, and how that compares to American / British English

I'm Canadian and (somewhat) speak Canadian French. My online friend is English and he is fluent in European French. We understand each-other fairly well but there's a time every so often where we need to explain what a certain word or phrase means because it's unfamiliar. Quebecois is almost like slang, if that makes sense.
