What does it mean and where did the term originate?
The Canadian Tuxedo

I am almost afraid to google that.
Same. It has that sort of sound. It's either something really weird and rude, or something horrible that drug cartels do to you if you inform on them.
Nothing scary guys it's just the all denim look, made popular by some movie long ago.
We are safe. It looks like it is jeans, t shirt, and jean jacket.
.
Now if you had said " Colombian necktie " that would have been a thing not to Google! Same with "concrete shoes" I think.
Is that like how you can't actually get french toast in France, or English muffins in England?
+1. Precisely!
I've actually lived where the locals wore these on occasion. Looks like these ones are caribou skins with a smattering of seal boots and hare ruffs. There is no parka made today as warm as these.
If it keeps the native animals warm, it will keep you warm
The only Canadian Tuxedo I am aware of was mentioned in the move Super Troopers. The police chief was wearing an all denim outfit.
Despite the fear above -- which is understandable as one cannot unsee things -- don't overlook Google as a tool:

I learned about it in "Super Troopers", Brian Cox has on one.
"How's it going Denim Dan? You look like the president, chairman, and CEO of Levi Straus. Hey where'd you get the Canadian tuxedo?"

You can if you speak the language. Pain perdu for French toast and Crumpet for English muffin.

LOL! That is how I dress for work, hence my curiosity after being called out on my Canadian Tuxedo recently.
I've always heard that as an Irish tuxedo.
I'm honestly surprised this many people have never heard of the Canadian Tuxedo.
