The full armorial bearings (complete coat of arms in more common language) of the Canadian Heraldic Authority incorporate aboriginal symbolism, as seen in the mythical raven-bears, as well as traditional Canadian colours (red and white).

The blazon, or technical description in heraldic language, of the full armorial bearings is:

Arms: Argent on a maple leaf Gules an escutcheon Argent;

Crest: Upon a helmet mantled Gules doubled Argent within a wreath of these colours a lion passant guardant Or Royally Crowned Proper its dexter forepaw resting on an escutcheon Argent charged with a maple leaf Gules;

Motto: HONORENTUR PATRIAM HONORANTES, Latin for "Let those honouring the country be honoured";

Supporters: On a representation of an outcrop of the Canadian Shield proper strewn with maple leaves Gules and maple seeds Or two raven-bears Gules over Argent wings elevated Gules beaked and armed Or.
