The CANLOAN program (or the Canada Loan program) was a scheme created in 1944 to loan officers from the Canadian Army to serve in British Army units. The program initial aims were to help supplement the undermanned British Army officer corps, and provide alternate avenues for Canadian Army officers to see active service. The program initially called for 1,500 junior officers to serve in the CANLOAN program, although that number was later reduced to 625 in April 1944. In total, 673 officers from the CANLOAN program served with British Army units during the Second World War.

In total, 673 officers from the CANLOAN program served with British Army units during the Second World War. The majority of the officers in the program were loaned to British regiments that fought in the North-West Europe campaign of 1944–45. However, a number of CANLOAN officers also served with British Army and British Indian Army units in the Italian, Mediterranean and Middle East, and the Southeast Asian theatre. (en)
