The 'Canadian order of precedence' is a nominal and symbolic hierarchy of important positions within the Government of Canada. It has no legal standing but is used to dictate ceremonial
protocol.
★ For a list of precedence for medals, honours and postnominal letters, see
Canadian order of precedence (Decorations and Medals)
★ All units of the
Canadian Forces also have an
order of precedence which determines seniority; usually of little practical value, it often decides such matters as which unit forms up to the right (senior side) of other units on a ceremonial parade, or the order in which marches or calls are played at a Mess Dinner.
Persons listed in italics have higher precedence elsewhere in the table.
