Various Sea Trades & Positions

The Royal Canadian Navy protects Canada’s sovereignty and interests at sea. In times of conflict or peace, we promote global stability, enforce international law, and help protect our Canadian and world economies.

We are more than Canada’s fighting force at sea – we are a chosen family. A family of sailors and dedicated Canadians working together to achieve common goals. A family that stands together through good times and bad, ready to help and support one another.

Life in the Navy is truly unique. We sail in ships and submarines, operate at home and abroad, patrol the world’s oceans and make a difference whenever needed and wherever we go. We bring the best of Canada to the rest of the world. Our ships are more than an office, they are our home away from home.
