Welcome to EL&U! This question is very broad and it's hard to know what would qualify as a "right answer." Also, at least as phrased, answers would tend to be light on detail or explanation. I recommend taking the tour (link below) or checking out information on questions to avoid and how to ask a good subjective question

You might find it interesting to Google 'Brummies,' 'Mancunian,' and 'Cockney,' which are UK nouns. They are derived from Birmingham, Manchester and East London.

Two I know of personally are "Louisvillian" and "Rochesterite", though neither is especially exotic. In general, an "-ite" or "-ian" suffix (whichever sounds better) is used in the US. Dunno what Canucks use.
