In Toronto you'll find Canadians that are all sorts of colours names and sizes, and a restaurant somewhere that serves your home country's cuisine. Most people in the city don't care.
The closer to the urban centre you are the less you are likely to be judged for looking foreign, though that chance is very small to begin with. If something racist gets shouted at you in public here, people are going to look down and walk away, look with disgust at the person making that remark, or tell them off.
Outside of the city, bigots are still the vast minority, but there may be more subtle ways you could be looked at differently, well-intentioned but largely due to the unfamiliarity with outside cultures.
Thanks buddy
