Hi Salam,

If you mean in the following sentences -

1. adjective - canadien /canadienne

Ma petite amie est canadienne = My girlfriend is Canadian

Mon petit ami est canadien = My boyfriend is Canadian

2. noun - Canadien /Canadienne

Je connais un Canadien = I know a Canadian man

Je connais une Canadienne = I know a Canadian woman

Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson on nationalities for more explanation-

Hope this helps!
