The Canadian SAS was created in 1947 The Canadian Government did a study which indicated that Canada could play a role in air transportability standardization and experimentation, especially in cold climates.47 This, and the BSP, led to the establishment of the Joint Air School (JAS) on 15 April 1947 from the amalgamation of the CPTC and the Airborne Research and Development Centre. The JAS had a mandate to research air-portability, conduct user trials, conduct limited development, train volunteer paratroopers, and exercise glider pilots. This mandate, combined with the internal impetus to retain airborne skills, soon produced results with the establishment of a Canadian Special Air Service (SAS) Company. The Army proposed a role for the SAS Company that masked the true intentions for the unit. Its stated purpose was to perform research and development, demonstrations to assist training, airborne firefighting, search and rescue, and aid to the civil power. As the SAS Company proposal worked through HQ, two more items were added to the unit's role: assistance in the event of a natural disaster, and provision of a nucleus for an expansion into parachute battalions. As soon as the unit was approved, in January 1948, the façade fell away and the priority of tasks was clearly oriented towards the expansion into airborne battalions as well as training, preserving and advancing SAS techniques from The Second World War.

Yes. As a member of the 'British Commonwealth' Canada was in the war right from the beginning and played Avery significant part in the war as did the other members of the British Commonwealth. The American forces only joined in right at the end after they were attacked in Pearl Harbour.
