    There is a good book: The Canadian Soldier
    This lists all regimental badges etc as well as all medals. You could also try posting the medals here, alot of Canadian medals were not exclusive to Canadaian forces

    If you go to www.google.com and do a search for "Canadian medals" (without the quotation marks), the first non-sponsored hit you'll probably get is the excellent Canadian Government webpage at
    http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/general/sub.cfm?source=collections/cmdp/mainmenu called "Canadian Military Medals and Decorations".

    Hopefully it should answer your immediate questions.
