having just complete a tour with the engineers, I manage to find out a few stuff here how the canadian model is

3 x Sqn with 2 X Tp, one being mech and other being light (thrid tp auth for war)

these sqn are combat engineers wihich handle bridging, water supply, demo, mine laying

there is a support sqn with a 1 x heavy equipment tp (dump trucks, cranes ect) 1 x construction tp (Builders) and a EOD Tp

each unit also has a combat diver team of about 20-30 pers - never fully manned

there is also a combat support company with mechainics, cook, clerks, medics ect.

all in all about 750 war time strenght
