List of current senators of Canada

This article provides an up-to-date list of the members of the Senate of Canada (Le Sénat du Canada), the upper house of the Parliament of Canada, including their names, provinces or territories, political affiliations, and appointment dates. The list reflects the latest official records and is presented in a sortable table format. The 105 senators are appointed by the governor general on the advice of the prime minister, unlike the elected members of the House of Commons.

Senators originally held their seats for life; however, under the British North America Act, 1965, members may not sit in the Senate after reaching the age of 75.

Senate seats are allocated on a regional basis:

• 24 seats each for Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and the Western provinces
• 6 seats for Newfoundland and Labrador
• 1 seat each for the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut

Quebec is unique in having 24 constitutionally mandated Senate divisions. See Quebec Senate divisions for details. In other provinces, senators may choose a division name, but this has no constitutional significance.

There are no vacancies. Current senators have been appointed on the advice of Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper, and Jean Chrétien.
