Sorry about the ealier post.
I think most words that are standard in U.S.-English dictionaries would also be standard in Canada.

You can determine if a word is in standard or non-standard Canadian English by checking Canadian dictionaries, such as The Canadian Oxford Dictionary or the Canadian-English dictionary sites listed in the previous response. Most words that are standard in U.S.-English dictionaries would also be standard in Canada. However, there might be regional or dialect differences that may lead to some variations in usage. Additionally, you can review informational websites on Canadian English to gain a better understanding of standard Canadian vocabulary and language usage.
To determine whether a word is standard or non-standard in Canadian English, you can refer to reputable sources such as dictionaries and language guides. Canadian English largely follows the same standard as U.S. English, so most words that are considered standard in U.S. dictionaries would also be considered standard in Canada.
To find a Canadian-English dictionary online, you can use search engines or visit websites that specialize in language resources. One website you can try is the Oxford Dictionaries website (https://www.lexico.com/en/dictionary/canadian-english). They offer definitions and examples specifically tailored to Canadian English.
As for the word "Rejoice," to determine if it is standard or non-standard in Canadian English, you can look it up in a Canadian-English dictionary. Check whether it is listed and defined in the dictionary. If it is, then it can be considered standard in Canadian English. If it is not listed, it may be less commonly used or possibly non-standard.
Keep in mind that language usage can vary and evolve, so what may be considered non-standard today could become standard in the future. It's always a good idea to consult validated sources for accurate information on language usage.
To determine if a word is standard or non-standard in Canadian English, you can refer to various online resources. One option is to consult the Canadian English section on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_English), which provides information about the characteristics and variations of Canadian English. Another option is to use online Canadian English dictionaries, such as the one mentioned in the second link (which is a broken link and cannot be accessed).

Regarding the specific example of the word "rejoice," it is commonly used and recognized in both standard Canadian English and standard American English. Therefore, it would generally be considered a standard word in both countries.
