As a french canadian, I do see it similarly to American/British English. It's two dialects of the same language that have evolved separately over 400 years. So of course a lot of idioms and some words are different, but we do understand each other verbally with a bit of effort and easily by text. If someone told you had a parisian accent, then yea they mean you sound like european French.
