Hate to tell you but they don't exist.  I read an article from AFV Modeller magazine by a guy who used a bunch of different figures to convert them for his Leo C1 dio.  He used US Vietnam figures, some British figures and such...  He also had to scratch build and change the webbing around to get the look right.  It's a shame, but there are no Canadian figs around!  Good luck!

Ive been wanting some Modern Canucks too. Might just end up modifying some modern US troops in 1/72 though.

I did some pretty credible modern Cdn herbies of the '80's when I modelled my own M113. Just tacked slanted mag pockets onto the chest of any figure with Miliput and also sculpted cargo pockets when needed. With all the figure sets Dragon puts out, there's sure to be something similar which can be used.

Now, painting the new Cdn computer generated camo pattern in 1/35, that is going to be interesting...

You might want to check out Ultracast, a manufacturer in Ontario. All Cdn stuff but mostly ww2.
