Commodore (Cmdre; ) is a Canadian Forces rank used by commissioned officers of the Royal Canadian Navy. Brigadier-general is the equivalent rank in the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force.
It is the lowest flag officer rank, senior to a naval captain (colonel in the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force), and junior to a rear admiral (major general in the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force).
A wide gold band with executive curl is displayed on each sleeve of the service dress and mess dress. Shoulder boards and rank slip-ons have a single maple leaf, above which is a crossed sabre and baton surmounted by St Edward's Crown.
