Can't speak for Canada but we never wore parachutes in any of the big prop types. The seats, unlike all the fighters, are designed for ordinary use.
What we did wear were parachute harnesses. Bailout involved straping a dinghy to your bum and a canopy pack to your chest.
In at least two drills I have had buddies trying to strap a dinghy to my chest!
For overland bailout we had the option of not taking the dinghy, and all its survival goodies.
