European resident in Canada neglected (4)
I believe the answer is:
dane
'european' is the definition.
(someone from Denmark)
'resident in canada neglected' is the wordplay.
'resident' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'resident of' mean this).
'DANE' can be found hidden inside 'in canada neglected'.
(Other definitions for dane that I've seen before include "Hamlet was one" , "One from Esbjerg" , "Hamlet, say" , "Eg, Copenhagen native" , "Great - - , dog" .)
