What type of metal were Canadian nickels made of before 1982?
With some exceptions, Canadian nickels minted from 1922 to 1981 were struck in 99.9% pure nickel, with the rest being simply trace impurities.The exceptions were:1942-1943: tombac, a copper/zinc alloy that was adopted because nickel was needed for the war effort1944-45 and 1951-54: chrome-plated steel
How can you tell if a 1944 Canadian nickel is made out of tombac?
The simplest test is to use a magnet. If the coin sticks, it's a standard 1944 nickel made of chrome-plated steel that's become discoloured over time. If the coin doesn't stick you should have it examined by a knowledgeable professional. Unfortunately most 1944 "tombac" nickels will turn out to be fakes. Various sources state that either (a) a small number were accidentally struck from leftover 1943 blanks, similar to the way some 1943 US cents were struck on bronze blanks or (b) a test run of about 8000 tombac coins were struck and all but a few were melted. Either way, the number of known genuine 1944 tombac nickels is in the low single digits.

When did the nickel come out of the Canadian nickel?
1922, 1942, 1951, 1981. "The nickel's composition has changed several times, most notably during World War II and the Korean War when nickel was redirected to the war effort. In 1942 and 1943, the coins were minted in tombac, a copper-zinc alloy; in 1944 and 1945, and again from 1951 to 1954, coins were made of steel which was plated twice, first with nickel and then chromium. The plating was applied before the blanks were struck, so the edges of these coins are dull or even rusted. The composition was returned to pure nickel after both wars. More recently, in 1981, the same copper-nickel alloy used in the American coin was adopted in the Canadian coin, with the ironic result that the nickel then contained less nickel than any other circulating Canadian coin except the cent. In 2000, along with all other circulating Canadian coins, the composition was further debased to nickel-plated steel; this plating does cover the coin's edge." Ref Wikipedia
