You're welcome. I wouldn't worry too much about pronunciation. Remember that Canada is multi-cultural, so you're going to run into a great deal of people who speak (Canada) English with an accent. Moreover, it's not the pronunciation you have to prepare for, it's the speed of speech. Native speakers don't usually speak at the same rate as a language provider or teacher. Be prepared for the speed.
