I've never heard them referred to as the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during WW2. Maybe that was used in WW1.
The first use of Canadian forces was during the Dieppe raid, which was a failure. There were not a large amount of Canadian troops in this raid. The Canadians first saw combat in Italy. The largest battle that the Canadians participated in was Ortona.
