Far as nationality goes, they're both Canadian.
Bute is born and raised in Romania. Fought for Romania in the Sydney Olympics as well. Then signed a promotional contract with a Canadian promoter - along with his countryman and fellow Olympian the LHW contender Adrian Diaconu btw - and has fought his pro-career out of Montreal. Dunno if Bute has aquired Canadian passport or not, but his nationality is still Romanian

(Now you can argue - as Molitor does - that Montreal/Quebec is not really Canada in the first place... Also seem to remember that in the build up to the Bute-Bika fight, the Cameroonian Bika actually spoke the language (French) in the press conferences, while the supposedly home guy Bute struggled...)
