How exactly does the canon differ among the various Eastern Catholic churches (and the Latin church for that matter)? Do all Catholics whether Latin or Eastern have the same canon, or does the canon depend on historical patrimony and liturgical ritual?

I used to always assume that the various Eastern Catholic churches had their own canons, equivalent to those of their Orthodox church analogues, but I’ve come to learn that the Ethiopian Catholic Church uses the Latin canon and not the Oriental Orthodox canon, which is why I’m starting this thread.

What ever little bit of information you can provide, even if it only concerns a single, specific Eastern Catholic church’s Biblical canon, will be much appreciated.
 
I would think that the Eastern Catholic Church has the same canon of Scripture as the Latin Rite Church because they are now in communion with one another. Correct me if I’m wrong.
 
This question has been discussed several times on CAF (see here and here), and it seems from those threads that the answer is no, they do not have their own canons corresponding to those of their Orthodox mother churches.
