Your question is kind of like asking "please list the kind of fish that are in the sea".  There are many, many different trades in the military, and no one is going to list them all for you.  As a short answer to your question, the combat arms are the Infantry, Artillery, Armour, and Combat Engineers.  Everything else is combat service support.  Go to the army recruiting site at http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/5_1.asp.  They have some menus that you can scroll through there to see some of the available trades.

Sig Op, Lineman.. there are many more as well I believe.

The Canadian Forces Recruiting site gives a complete list.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

WE AT ARMY.CA ARE NOT CANADIAN FORCES RECRUITERS.  PLEASE CHECK THE RECRUITING WEBSITE AND PHONE A RECRUITER WITH YOUR QUESTIONS, AS THEY CAN BEST PROVIDE AN OFFICIAL ANSWER.
