The Arms of Canada (French: Armoiries du Canada), also known as the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada (French: armoiries royales du Canada)[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] or formally as the Arms of Her Majesty The Queen in Right of Canada (French: Armoiries de Sa Majesté la reine du Canada),[3][11][12][13][14] is, since 1921, the official coat of arms of the Canadian monarch and thus also of Canada.[14][15] It is closely modelled after the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom with French and distinctive Canadian elements replacing or added to those derived from the British version.
