Canada
There are five fusilier regiments patterned on the British tradition forming part of the militia (part-time reserve) of the Canadian Forces. The Royal 22e Régiment, although not fusiliers, wears fusilier ceremonial uniform because of its alliance with The Royal Welch Fusiliers.
- The Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada (which wears highland uniform, but with fusilier hackles on feather bonnets)
- Les Fusiliers du Saint-Laurent
- Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal
- The Princess Louise Fusiliers (which wear a grey hackle as a token of their affiliation with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers (now part of the Royal Irish Regiment)
- Les Fusiliers de Sherbrooke
