{{Main|Canadian Armed Forces ranks and insignia}}
Military rank in the Canadian Army is granted based on a variety of factors including merit, qualification, training, and time in-rank. However, promotion up to the rank of corporal for non-commissioned members, and to captain for officers, is automatic based on time in previous rank. Some ranks are associated with specific appointments. For example, a [[regimental sergeant major]] is held by a chief warrant officer, or [[adjutant]] held by a captain. In some branches or specific units, rank titles may differ due to tradition. A trained private within the [[Royal Canadian Armoured Corps]] is a trooper, whereas the same rank within the artillery is gunner. Other titles for the rank of private include fusilier, sapper, rifleman, craftsman, and guardsman.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://canadiansoldiers.com/ranks/rank.htm |title=canadiansoldiers.com article on Rank and Responsibility |access-date=2013-06-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522182159/http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/ranks/rank.htm |archive-date=2013-05-22 |url-status=live }}</ref> The ranks of the Canadian Army are as follows:
