Girlfriend in Canada	comment	A convenient way for a character to disabuse the idea that they're either gay or too socially inept for a relationship is to claim that they indeed have a girlfriend — but the other characters have never met her because she lives in Canada. She doesn't visit very often, but when she does they just spend all day in bed. Look, here's her entry in his phone's contact list. No, you can't see a picture. The idea is that since "she" lives in a different country, and presumably would have to get a passport and go through all that hassle in order to visit her "boyfriend", it's particularly tempting to make her Canadian as a way of discouraging others from asking too many questions. With the internet, it becomes slightly more believable that they just met online. But if they do ask questions, it's almost de rigueur that any discussion of her living situation more detailed than "in Canada" will be comically inconsistent with any real Canadian geography or culture. It's also convenient for writers, who can put someone in a "relationship" without having to write an actual character or cast someone to play her. It's a very American trope by nature, not only because America makes so much pop culture but also because Canada's relationship with the U.S. means it can only really work there. Canada and the U.S. are separated by a border but are close by and share a common language; anything farther away would raise questions as to the girlfriend's exotic nationality and linguistic capacity. You won't see this in anime, for instance, because for a Japanese guy to pretend to have a foreign girlfriend would raise questions as to which of them is bilingual. In Britain, a "girlfriend in Ireland" doesn't need a passport to visit the UK in theory (although in practice the airlines and ferry companies do require passengers to show passports), and a "girlfriend on the Continent" would probably speak a different language (although certain places in Continental Europe would make the prospect quite tempting for the hapless guy). A "Girlfriend in Australia" is a possibility, and it adds the wrinkle of time zones to the equation. Australia and New Zealand can theoretically do this with each other as they have similar relationships like U.S./Canada, though whether it shows up in actual writings is another matter. If the show is set in Canada, you can do a "Girlfriend in the States", but for safety's sake better put her far from the border and far from states that tend to have a lot of Canadian visitors like Arizona or Florida. There are variants that don't require a different country at all. Schoolchildren can do it, claiming to their classmates that they totally have a girlfriend, but you haven't met her because she goes to a different school. Sci-fi or fantasy series with their own settings also have more possible options; you could put her on a different planet or dimension as long as it's not too difficult to get there. A setting with a Fictional Country may choose to use that country for the fictitious girlfriend. If the character's friends are a little too forceful in calling him out on the girlfriend's non-existence, you can expect the most common subversion of this trope; the girlfriend will turn out to be real after all before the episode ends. If the character himself is from Canada, no one will question him having a girlfriend back home and it's not this trope at all. This trope is closely related to The Beard, Operation: Jealousy, and Boyfriend Bluff. Could become an Invented Individual. See also Wedding Ring Defense and False Widow.

One of the exceptions in Rue, due to being a Conspiracy Theorist about everything that the town has put in place to make Magical Girl life easier. However, Rue still does the monster fighting part and ends up partnering with Zoe, one of the newer students from Futureâ€™s Promise. Because of a plot development, Zoe and some of her classmates decide that none of them should go monster-fighting alone. Zoe declines an offer to join two of her classmates because she'll be with Rue and mentions she goes to another school. Zoe soon has to correct a classmate's assumption that she invented her teammate.

Canadian figure skater Elvis Stojko points out that this is a common misconception as he has a girlfriend in Vancouver, to which Moe retorts, "Made up girlfriend, made up city." Subverted in the Treehouse of Horror XI segment "Scary Tales Can Come True" which parodies the story of Hansel and Gretel. Captured in the witch's gingerbread cottage, Lisa mocks her for not having a social life. The witch claims to have a boyfriend named George Cauldron (a riff on an episode of The Brady Bunch) but Lisa and Bart are less than convinced. At the end of the segment, after Homer cooks the witch in her own oven, a handsome and real George Cauldron arrives and asks for her. One episode had Lisa bemoan being unable to find a date to a dance, even among the nerds. Turns out their claims of having girlfriends at other schools were true. In the episode "Barthood," Milhouse says he'll make up a girlfriend from Alberta named Alberta so that he doesn't have to remember two lies. Subverted in an episode in which Bart tells Groundskeeper Willie that he has a new girlfriend, who awkwardly replies that he also has a girlfriend who happens to be a bikini model from Sweden. As soon as Bart walks away, said model comes out of his shack asking him to come back to bed.

Hayley asks if it involves having sex with a tree or him, but Arborious tells her he's in a relationship with a "redwood in Canada". The later episode "The 42-Year-Old Virgin" plays with a lot of classic sex tropes by applying them to killing instead of sex. Stan is outed as a "virgin" when he can't name the first person he killed, instead claiming it was a Soviet agent, "but you wouldn't know him, he was from Canada."

While the family is stuck in the titular traffic jam, Malcolm manages to strike up a friendship with a cute girl who he starts to become infatuated with. It's revealed at the end when he's trying to pursue things deeper with her that she's Canadian and is currently heading home from a road trip with her family, which leaves Malcolm rather deflated to say the least what with any potential romance between them now being unlikely. But at the last moment as the cars start moving again and hers pulls up next to his, she extends out a piece of paper with her number on it which he almost manages to grab before the dog that Lois had freed from another car earlier in the episode jumps up and snatches it out of her hand.

Girlfriend in Canada / int_a632c9af	comment	This was done by undercover FBI agent Joseph Pistone AKA Donnie Brasco. Pistone was married but was posing as an unattached jewel thief, and so needed a plausible reason for the other mobsters why he didn't put the moves on other women or was away to see his real family. So he'd pretend to have an out-of-state girlfriend.

Girlfriend in Canada / int_ac4b6a62	comment	Questionable Content: Dora mentions that Sven actually had a Canadian girlfriend and that his resulting screaming fight with the enraged Quebecoise was "the best Thanksgiving ever". Deathbot 9000, on the other hand, apparently plays this trope entirely straight. In addition, Raven briefly has a boyfriend in Canada. He eventually appears in person... and turns out to be a hobo. Sven's claim to own a "â€™65 Les Paul" guitar is treated as such, as Gibson didn't build any Les Pauls in 1965. Turns out he thought he owned one. He got swindled and his guitar was built in 1983, not 1965—although it is a genuine Les Paul, so he was only partially swindled.

Everyone goes "Sick. Riiiiiiiight.", but at the end of the episode, we do see his wife. It should be mentioned that she shows up to enforce the character's heterosexuality, as Bohort's very... refined nature ended up putting the actor on the cover of a gay magazine.

Metadata the player, as an Enforcer, can access indicates they were made with the same headbands as their "boyfriends". Zane's is pretty obvious since it's entirely her gushing about him. Corey puts a bit more effort into creating an One of the Boys dorky persona for his fictitious girlfriend, but it's still blatant.
