List of the highest major summits of Canada explained

See main article: List of mountain peaks of Canada.

See also: List of the most prominent summits of Canada and List of the most isolated major summits of Canada.

The following sortable table comprises the 150 highest mountain peaks of Canada with at least 500abbr=off0abbr=off of topographic prominence.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.

Five major Canadian summits exceed 5000abbr=off0abbr=off, 11 exceed 4500abbr=off0abbr=off elevation, 19 exceed 4000abbr=off0abbr=off, 41 exceed 3500abbr=off0abbr=off, 69 exceed 3000abbr=off0abbr=off, and 125 major summits exceed 2500abbr=off0abbr=off elevation.
