Hi Oliver. In the first image, I believe the Calg H slip-on was for the band, and the 20 patch was an unofficial patch for 20 Fd Regt. The Technicien Medical is unusual and likely unauthorized, being in only one language.
Is the RCAMC pattern with the merrowed border rayon?
The second image has some interesting SWW era titles. Here is a link to the Aerodrome Defence Company article I wrote. The subnominal numbers are very difficult to find, and the title itself while not common, can be found.

The CATS patch appears to be the flocked pattern, and there are several more varieties of that patch including a couple of printed patterns in different colours. The Regiment de Quebec is the 1949 pattern. The Special Services and Public Relations titles were authorized for the Canadian Army Pacific Force and 6 Canadian Division (CAPF). (This was the second iteration of the 6 Div, and was intended to operate in the invasion of Japan. It was not the home defence 6 Div.) They were redundant when the war ended. The bayonet patch was a course patch for Ex Polished Bayonet, an infantry officer qualification course held in the early 60's.
Mike, the 1 Bn / Edmonton Fusiliers was the first pattern title worn by the Active Bn during the SWW. It was not approved, as shoulder title policy prohibited battalion numbers. It was also made in the wrong colour. It was replaced circa 1942 with the pale blue on maroon Edmonton Fusiliers title.
Oliver, what is the UNRRA? First thought was United Nations Relief Agency... but it is in the wrong colours for UN titles.
