I travelled to Germany in October when Canada was on the list of countries that residents can enter Germany for non-essential reason. Now Canada is removed. I'm not sure but I still think you can use it. Usually this 6 months rule is for getting visas but normally you don't need a visa to Germany if you have a Canadian travel document. The only issue is that according to my information, Germany is closed to Canadians as of October 27th. I travelled there beginning of October so I was ok. Check with the German consulate. Use this link to ask them questions. I used it and they replied to me the next business day https://canada.diplo.de/ca-en/vertretungen/generalkonsulat2/kontakt-formular-gk2

If you can see your biometric info, most likely you passed everything. (this is just a lil theory of mine, I could be wrong)
