Women currently make up 14.8% of the Canadian Armed Forces, and are theoretically eligible to serve in all occupational specialties. The last occupational ban for females in the military, which restricted women from serving aboard submarines, was lifted in 2001. Nonetheless, as of February 2018, the total representation of women who served in combat arms (crewman, artillery, artilleryman, infantryman, infantry, engineer, combat engineer, and armoured) was 4.3%. Also, there are currently no women that serve in combat specialties within special operations forces. Females who obtain officer status are mainly concentrated in the personnel and nursing fields.
