Do I need to add a separate xmltv url for canadian and us channels or just one for all regions?

The XMLTV URL's are simply TV sources. You can have as many as you want and break them down however you want but the problem of doing that is if you are tracking connections -- the connection count will be per source so it would be possible to surpass the connection count. If that's important to you then use a single XMLTV URL source so the connection count will be enforced.
The guide data can be easier to manage if you break up the XMLTV URL's into different sources that comply with a service provider like Bell, Dish, DirecTV, Comcast, etc. You can assign multiple EPG sources to an XMLTV source though but you just have to be cognizant of the order that the EPG sources will be processed and your channel numbering.
If you're using the IPTV provider's EPG data then just use one XMLTV URL and one EPG sources.
