Answer 2

For the Army and the Air forces, the ranks are very similar. The ones for the Navy are pretty different.

Non commissioned ranks:

The first rank that you get appointed as soon as you join is

Private (Pvt) No badge

Then you get one inverted Chevron

Private (Pvt) One Chevron

Corporal (Cpl) Two Chevrons

Master Corporal (MCpl) Two chevrons with a maple leaf above them

Sergeant (Sgt) Three chevrons and a maple leaf

Warrant Officer (WO) St. Edward's crown

Master Warrant Officer (MWO) St. Edward's crown with a wreath surrounding it

Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) The Canadian coat of arms

Once you get to Master Warrant, anyone ranked below you addresses you as 'sir' or 'ma'am'.

Officer ranks:

Officer Cadet (Ocdt) One small (or half sized) stripe

Second Lieutenant (Pronounced left-tenant, not loo-tenant in Canada) (2Lt) One regular stripe

Lieutenant (Lt) One small stripe over one regular stripe

Captain (Cpt) Two regular stripes

Major (Maj) One small strip between two regular stripes

Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) 3 regular stripes

Colonel (Col) 4 regular stripes

When I speak of half or smaller stripes compared to regular sized stripes, I am referring to thickness. Stripes are black.

General Ranks:

Brigadier General (B. Gen) One maple leaf, with a crossed sabre and baton above, both below St. Edward's crown

Major General (Maj. Gen) Same as B. Gen with 2 maple leaves side by side

Lieutenant General (Lt. Gen) 3 maple leaves, 1 centered above, two side by side below

General (Gen) 4 maple leaves in a diamond shape-1 centered above, two side by side in the middle, 1 centered below

Yes, I know it doesn't make sense that a Lieutenant General is higher than a Major general, but that's how it works.

There is only one General in Canada.

Now for the Navy ranks. The badges of the Navy, air and army are all the same, but the ranks just have different names

Non commissioned ranks:

Ordinary Seaman (OS) No badge

Able Seaman (AB) One chevron

Leading Seaman (LS) 2 chevrons

Master Seaman (MS) 2 chevrons and a maple leaf

Petty Officer 2nd class (PO 2) 3 chevrons and a maple leaf

Petty Officer 1st class (PO 1) St. Edward's crown

Chief Petty Officer 2nd class (CPO 2) St. Edward's crown surrounded by a wreath

Chief Petty Officer 1st class (CPO 1) Canada's coat of arms

Officers: I'm sorry, I don't know the abbreviations

Naval cadet One small stripe

Acting Sub-lieutenant One regular stripe

Sub-lieutenant One small stripe over one regular stripe

Lieutenant 2 regular stripes

Lieutenant commander One small stripe between 2 regular stripes

Commander 3 regular stripes

Captain 4 regular stripes

Flag Officers:

Commodore One maple leaf, with a crossed sabre and baton above, both below St. Edward's crown

Rear Admiral Same as commodore, with two maple leaves side by side

Vice Admiral 3 maple leaves, one centered above, two side by side below

Admiral 4 maple leaves in a diamond formation-1 centered above, 2 side by side in the middle, 1 centered below.
