Its true. Officially women in Canada average 5'4'' but a lot of women seem to significantly taller. One of my childhood friends is about 6'3'' and another girl I went to school with was 5'10'' back then and is probably about 6' now.
A lot of the girls I went to school with seemed to be 5'7'' to 6'. Of coarse, its probably just a regional thing though.
If you really want to go tall girl hunting, the former Yugoslavian states (Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro and Macedonia...might be forgetting one) have the tallest average height for women, at 5'7.5''.
The Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) come second at 5'7''. This might be why a lot of the girls I know are so tall; most people in my town are either Nordic or Asian so they're either tall or short.
The shortest average height for women comes from Indonesia and Guatemala, where the average height in both countries is a minuscule 4'10''. The Phillipines is second at 4'11.5''.
By comparison, the world average is 5'4''.
