From my understanding, you will still receive a salary for your work, but you will not receive additional tuition credits. 

Taken from their website:

"Beginning in 2018-19, assistantship salaries per semester will be as follows:

Teaching Assistant (TA): $12,000;

Reader, Program Assistant-faculty, Program Assistant-administrative (PA): $6,000

Course Assistant (CA): $3,000"

I should know this already, but what exactly is tuition credit?

Secondly, is it possible to do more than one of these in the same semester, for example could you be a TA and a CA?

I think the core difference is that tuition credit will be directly credited to your tuition bill and hence will not be taxable. While the other option is that you will get the amount in your account as salary and will be taxable.
