In the post war months more CWACs served in Europe, eventually around 3,000, helping repatriate the Canadian Army. There were no casulaties among the Women's Division of the Royal Canadian Air Force, or the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service.

What jobs in the Canadian armed forces do you recommend for a woman?
Canada is a world leader in terms of the proportion of women in its military, and the areas in which they can serve. Among their allies, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are highly regarded as being at the forefront of military gender integration. Women can enrol in any CAF occupation, which includes operational trades, and serve in any environment. In all trades, CAF men and women are selected for training, promotions, postings and all career opportunities in exactly the same way - based on rank, qualifications and merit. Women have been involved in Canada's military service and contributed to Canada's rich military history and heritage for more than 100 years. They have been fully integrated in all occupations and roles for over 20 years, with the exception of serving on submarines which was eventually lifted by the Royal Canadian Navy on March 8, 2000. It is indeed an exciting time for women, for now there is truly no limit to career opportunities for them in the CAF. Women have lots of opportunities in Canadian armed forces. If you want to be in army you have to be tough, you have to ready for every tasks.This is modern world women are not less.SO if you asking me i recommend you all that you can do.
