An American would refer to them as Canadian, French-Canadian, or Québécois if you're feeling fancy.
We also have the term Hispanic to refer to folks from Latin America though I'm not quite sure what the underlying difference is.

Latino/Latina means "of Latin America" (actually I think it's an abbreviation of the Spanish or Portuguese translation of "Latin American") and refers to people whose ancestors are from Latin America.
So an American whose ancestors came from Spain would be Hispanic but not Latina and an American whose ancestors came from Brazil would be Latina but not Hispanic. Someone whose ancestors came from Mexico would be both Hispanic and Latina.
Like most broad, potentially emotionally charged, cultural labels many people don't agree with this labeling and/or may self identify differently. Especially those who don't have a strong cultural or linguistical ties to where their ancestors are from.
There's also Chicano which means from Mexico.
Not quite. Brazil is in Latin America, but Brazilians are not Hispanic.
I think that's why it's largely considered Latin America instead of Hispanic America.
People in Quebec are french-speaking or francophone, but calling them "French" is dismissing everybody in Quebec who is not of "pure" French descent.
