Canada
In the Canadian Forces, the CSM appointment is normally held by a Master Warrant Officer (MWO). The appointment is sometimes held by a Warrant Officer (WO), responsible for a smaller number of personnel.
In the Canadian Forces, the SSM/BSM/CSM is referred to as "Sir/Ma'am" by subordinates, or as "Sergeant Major". Superiors refer to him/her generally as "Sergeant Major" or "CSM". If the position is held by a Warrant Officer, subordinates address the CSM as "Warrant".
