Right I'll try and find the links or more specifically a copy of the QR&O (Queen's Regulations and Orders) online that outlines the military classification of those who served in Vietnam. This may take awhile... DND doesn't exactly make a habit of putting manuals or rules online - they still prefer keeping it solely hardcopy...

Although off hand I do know the exact term applied by the military to those who signed on with the US military during Vietnam was:
"dismissal with disgrace from Her Majesty's service"
Or basically a dishonourable discharge that appears on the persons record and prohibits any federal or provincial employment - it also appears on your criminal record too.

Also I know the offical position on the record from the Royal Canadian Legion (veteran's association) is that those wo served are little better than "mercenaries" or "traitors" and are to be treated as such.
