Not sure what you're getting at. These were complete and wholely independent battle groups who operated without support from other contingents.

If you mean this is a coalition deployment, it is but the Canadians (and British and Dutch for that matter) are completely responsible for their AO.
I think we better define what is an independent operation. D-Day while an allied operation was actually 5 independent operations (5 beaches). The Canadians were responsible for Juno Beach and thus, that was an independent Canadian operation even though it supported an overall scheme.
