I find that the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canadian accents sound similar, but other accents are fairly easy to differentiate, even if I don’t know exactly where they might be from. It all depends on what you’ve heard during your life, where you’ve lived, who you’ve associated with. For instance, I can sometimes hear the differences in accent in people from the different towns near me, but would be hard pressed to identify more than ‘Scots’ as an accent, even though I know that Glasgow, Edinburgh and other Scottish regions have subtle differences. Back to the Canadian/American accents – a piece of advice a Canadian once gave me is: If you’re not sure whether a person is Canadian or American, ask them if they are Canadian first, as a Canadian is more likely to be insulted by being called an American than the other way round.
