Releasing from the Military

Releasing from the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is an involved process of change, one that touches many aspects of the lives of members, their families and loved ones. This page helps you find the right information, services, and one-on-one support based on who you are and what you need; whether you are a military family, a serving CAF member or a Veteran. 

Not sure where to begin? You can:

  • Talk to someone now through the Family Information Line
  • Get one-on-one support from a Family Transition Advisor
  • Find local services through your nearest Military Family Resource Centre

This site combines trusted information, tools and guidance to help you understand your options and navigate the release process. As a military family member, a serving CAF member or a Veteran, you will find your pathway, whether you are looking for resources to explore on your own, or one-on-one support to help you move forward.
