I don't know exactly how many regiments thereof, but the 1st Canadian Infantry Division (with supporting units) was sent to France in 1940, and evacuated shortly thereafter, once the situation was deemed untenable. Most of their vehicles stayed in France (albeit disabled) but I do recall the 1st Field Regiment managed to save all of their guns. You may have read some details of all of this through Farley Mowat's The Regiment (referring to the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment).

May I enquire as to why you're asking?
