The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has the main responsibility for providing SAR from the air. It also coordinates the national response for air and maritime SAR. CAF assets are tasked to respond to about 1000 SAR missions every year.

They delegate the authority for ground SAR response to the police services in the area. Parks Canada leads ground SAR in federal parks and preserves.

The Canadian Rangers often help with ground SAR in sparsely settled regions of Canada, upon request.
