As I understand it, if you're travelling from Canada, and have evidence of Canadian residency, you're as good as Canadian for this purpose. If you're a visitor in Canada, it gets murky quickly. It's also worth knowing most countries are still banning by purpose as well as by source. Most countries do not accept tourism as a valid reason to visit. For example, for Germany; https://www.germany.info/us-en/covid-19/2321562 https://www.germany.info/us-en/covid-19/2321562 "Third-country nationals with a long-term right of residence in an EU State and/or in the aforementioned State (residence permit or long-term visa, e.g. for studies or starting a job) " - that could be you, depending in your residence position in Canada. ("aforementioned State" is EU/EEC/EFTA, plus July 1st's "positive list"). However, the page ends with "U.S. citizens may still enter Germany without a visa, if they can show proof of one of the afore-mentioned exceptions to the airline and border authorities. Entry for the sole purpose of a visit or for tourist reasons is therefore still not possible." Essentially, you need either a) the natural right to enter - EG, you're German. b) a good reason to enter, and be resident in, and travelling from, an acceptable country. or c) be on the VIP list of risks we're willing to take. (Germany in this case was just the clearest example I found in two searches. Go figure, Germans are good at rules. The "positive list" and recommendations are provided by the EU, the implementation is provided by the state. So the nitty-gritty does vary by country.)
