Even though the war ended in Europe it took a long time for most Canadian Soldiers to make their way home. there was even talk of shifting them to the Pacific Theatre to help the Americans, and get the Canadian Navy involved
For a bit of funny hilarity in post WW2 Europe, read My Father's son and no birds sang by Farley Mowat. Post war he basically formed his own army with a goal of collecting german weapons and equipment.

A few weeks later, he wrote to his parents informing them that "my eye shineth, and I am filled with piss and vinegar again. In future you will kindly address me with all due deference as Officer Commanding, First Canadian War Museum Collection Team. A sonorous title ain't it? Ought to be - I concocted it myself."
