The Civil Code is just in Quebec. That's because that region of the country was originally owned by France and centuries later it's still French-speaking and uses a France-derived legal system for all but criminal matters.
There are many English speakers in Quebec (one of Canada's top law schools is located in the largest city in Quebec, which is known for being English-speaking...) and so you should be able to find a lot more materials in English than Scandinavian countries but I wouldn't know.
You're likely already aware of it but Louisiana also has the historical France link and civil code connection but I know much less about how that system works.
