The members of the Episcopal Conference includes: all diocesan Bishops in Canada and those equivalent to them in law, all Coadjutor Bishops and Auxiliary Bishops. Also included in the Episcopal Conference are Titular Bishops of any Rite within the Catholic Church who exercise in the territory a special office assigned to them by the Apostolic See or by the CCCB.

The title of “Bishop emeritus” is received after a bishop’s resignation from office is accepted by the Holy Father. These Bishops, now retired, are no longer members of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, but may still participate at the CCCB Plenary Assemblies as consultants.

At least 10 Canadians are exercising, or have exercised, their Episcopal ministry outside of Canada. They are not members of the CCCB.
