The civil service includes roughly 75 different departments and other organizations with over 200 000 employees. Special Operating Agencies (which are departmental organizations), and non-departmental organizations such as Crown Corporations, administrative tribunals, and oversight organizations are all also part of the civil service, however, are structured to operate in areas seen as requiring a higher level of independence from the broader civil service and the direct political control of ministers. As civil servants, they are all agents of the Crown and are held responsible to Parliament through their relevant minister.[1]
This list is organized according to functional grouping and is further subdivided by category such as offices, departments, agencies, and crown corporations.

Notes
- The Canadian Armed Forces is a separate and distinct entity from that of the Department of National Defence. The Department is a civilian organisation, and is part of the Public Service of Canada, while the Canadian Forces are a military organisation and are not part of the Public Service. However, the Minister of National Defence is responsible for its direction as part of the Minister's portfolio.
