On army and special operations uniforms, the rank insignia of a captain is three pips. On air force uniforms, the rank insignia of a captain is two wide bars. The equivalent rank for officers who wear the navy uniform is lieutenant (N). Its insignia is two stripes with the executive curl on the top stripe. The naval rank of captain (N) actually corresponds to colonel. When the naval rank captain is written or typed, it is followed by "(N)" to distinguish it from army, air force and special operations captains.

Prior to the unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, the Royal Canadian Air Force used the rank of flight lieutenant.
