The northernmost 'settlement' in Canada is Grise Fiord, on the southern coast of Ellesmere Island.

However, the northernmost 'populated' area in Canada (and in the world) is Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert (just north of Alert, Nunavut) on the northern tip of Ellesmere Island - latitude 82.5°N - just 834 kilometres (518 mi) from the North Pole.

===============================================================================

Grise Fiord (Ausuittuq) on the southern coast of Ellesmere Island, is the northernmost civilian community in Canada. At 76°25' N, Grise Fiord is 1,160 km north of the Arctic Circle. According to Canada's 2006 Census, Grise Fiord is home to 141 residents.

Alert, a Canadian military and research station, is located 12 km (7.5 mi) west of Cape Sheridan, which is the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island. At 82°28' N, Alert is not only Canada's, but also the world's most northerly permanently inhabited place. Alert is only 817 kilometers (508 mi) from the North Pole.
