it was different from the tv edited pilot episodes and the us dvd of the movie or theater release.
there were some of the episodes edited into movies on vhs such as the terrible Galactica 1980, or Galactica earth.

Man, I too would love to know what the Canadian Theatrical version was composed of...
Sad thing is that the only information that I could ever find about this edition is that it existed.
I do have a fan made compilation VHS from years and years ago that has all of the known released "Saga" footage. The creator of this VHS (a very famous and active member of the BSG community) had told me that, one or two short segments of scenes on this tape are from the Canadian only version. The scene segments in question have an all together different look to them on this tape. They had been recorded by a different fan and then the scenes where edited into this compilation VHS. Because of the alternate quality, it's not to hard for me to identify them. Only problem is that I've not looked at this tape in years, so I am not 100% sure if those segments are included on the original series box in the extras section.
As for the Theatrical version that is on official DVD. That was the edit made after the series was already canceled and "SenSurround" was added to some released prints. But I'm more than sure you all know that.
As for the VHS releases of re-edited episodes, there was
1) "Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack" a somewhat poorly re-edited version of Living Legend and Fire In Space episodes, plus a few minutes of footage from the pilot's space-mine field segment.
NOTE: The extended "The Living Legend" Telemovie edit is NOT the same as this movie. "Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack" did have a theatrical release in Japan.
2) "Conquest of the Earth" Sounds exciting right? This is nothing more than a horrible re-edit of some worthless Galactica 1980 episodes. ... ("And Wolfman Jack's gonna be there too!")
