Use of " ya" in place of Yes

would it be a negative response if i say "Yeh" or "Ya" instead of "Yes". Can you please make me clear on using these words

"Ya", "yeh", and "yes" all mean the affirmative. Basically, if it starts with a "y" it is an affirmative, if it starts with an "n" it is a negative.

When we talk with professionals using "Yes" looks effective and it will be in a respecting way; when we talk with friends etc. we can use 'ya'!! I think so!!

I think of it as being very Canadian to say ya instead of yes at the end of a sentence just to be very explicit in what I am saying. Just explaining I really mean it.
