Major (Canada)

A major is senior to a captain and junior to a lieutenant-colonel.

The rank insignia in the Canadian Army is a crown.

Majors fill the positions of company/squadron/battery commanders, or deputy commanders of a battalion/regiment; in the Air Force they are typically squadron second-in-command, or commander of a detached helicopter flight embarked onboard Canadian naval vessels.

The naval equivalent rank for major is lieutenant-commander.
