There might be a few people who'd rather obliviously exclude Canada as "North America", but the usual common parlance is for the typical person in the States:
"America" = the United States of America "North America" = the U.S. & Canada (and maybe Mexico, if they think about it)
Mexico is often lumped in with Central America, which is typically spoken of as if it's not part of North America. "Latin America" is also used to cover Mexico and everything south to Antarctica. Greenland and the Caribbean nations are also in a gray zone of afterthought at best.
