There's multiple Canadian accents. They aren't unique to Canada though, mostly.

Newfoundland - Unique. Sounds goofy as hell.

Atlantic - Unique as well. Also goofy.

Ontario - Standard American accent. Nothing special.

Prairies - Sound like American Mid-west

West Coast (Best Coast) - Back to American Standard.

There are dozens of Canadian accents in both French and English.
Try an Acadian, Newfie, or Maritimer if you want an accent you've never heard

>standard American accent
So do they sound like they're from somewhere in New England or a certain city of is it great lakes?

No, for example the Downeast Maine accent is different than the nearby Canadian Anglo Maritimer accent.

Here's an article on the unique and weird Maritime accent
