Just wondering if I could take an image from a camera that is viewing only an object on a different layer and take that, convert it to an image and put that on a canvas?
Initially I was just trying to use my camera to overlay my image onto the canvas, but this is not seeming to work. Thank you!

Yes, you can. Search for “render textures”. You create a render texture in your hierarchy (or at runtime with code), then set that render texture as the render target of your camera.
Also, you need a “Raw Image” component instead of an “Image” one, that should have a reference to the render texture.

This video from the live training courses goes over this exact subject and provides an example:
