The Canadian army ceased issuing Brit pattern trades badges circa the end of WW2. After that time, the Canadian army had its own unique issue of trades badges for wear. An individual may have been granted permission to wear a British pattern trades badge if they had earned it on British courses / training. The Canadian badges were buff on worsted wool and smaller than the WW2 issue. They were only made for the Canadian army. They were issued until unification, and then a similar style was created again in the 1990's for the DEU and the Garrison Dress uniforms.
Several references available, including Bennetts trade badge book, DND charts, etc.
