The United Kingdom and Canada (as well as Australia, New Zealand etc..) share the same Queen. Officially Queen Elizabeth II remains the titular head of state for Canada, however, it is the Prime Minister of Canada who is the head of government, and is empowered under Canada's Constitution to form the federal government and wield executive power. Queen Elizabeth II is not, and never has been, the Queen of England. That title has not existed for over 300 years.

She is Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Would the armies of the commonwealth countries fight for the UK if the UK got involved in a war with another country since their military allegiance lies with Britain's queen E.g. Canada?

No, they would not - unless their own governments took the decision to support the UK in a war. The Queen is Head of State (ie symbolises/ personifies the State) of countries like Australia and Canada, but it is important to understand two things: 1.) She does not govern sovereign states such as Australia and Canada - that is the job of their own elected Governments. 2.) The Queen is Head of State of Countries like Canada and Australia IN THEIR OWN RIGHTS - ie she is Queen of Canada and Australia as well as of the UK, each separately and distinctly. She is so because that is what they wish, not simply because she is Queen of the UK. The primary allegiance of the Armed Forces of Australia and Canada is to the Australian and Canadian States/ Governments; the Oath of Allegiance is to THEIR Monarch who symbolises THEIR States, NOT the British State. Just as in Britain, "Royal Prerogative" powers (eg to declare war; make treaties) are exercised by the Prime Minister who heads the elected government of the day.
