;Medals by year Canada also won 1 gold medal and 1 silver medal at the 1906 Intercalated Games, which the IOC no longer recognizes as an official Olympic games, so these medals are not counted in this table. ;Medals by sport • ''One of Canada's ice hockey gold medals was won during the 1920 Summer Olympics.

Artistic swimming Canada has been very successful in synchronized swimming at the Olympics, winning medals at every games in which the sport was competed except for 2004 & 2008. In 1992, Sylvie Fréchette was originally awarded a silver medal in the women's solo event. This was the result of a judge inadvertently entering a score of "8.7" instead of the intended "9.7" in the computerized scoring system for her technical figures performance. This error ultimately led to Fréchette placing second, leaving Kristen Babb-Sprague to win the gold medal. Following an appeal, FINA awarded Fréchette a gold medal, replacing her silver medal and leaving the two swimmers both with gold. Marathon swimming Canada has only won an Olympic medal in marathon swimming once, a bronze by Richard Weinberger in 2012. Swimming After George Hodgson won two gold medals in the 1912 Stockholm games, it would be 72 years before Alex Baumann became the second Canadian swimmer to win Olympic gold, when he won both individual medley events in world record time in the 1984 Los Angeles games. Victor Davis (1984), Anne Ottenbrite (1984), Mark Tewksbury (1992), Penny Oleksiak (2016), Maggie Mac Neil (2020) and Summer McIntosh (2024) are the other Canadian swimmers to win gold medals.

Canada is not traditionally strong in athletics, but the nation has won medals in 15 of 23 games in which it has competed. Some memorable performances are the double gold by Percy Williams in the 100m and 200m in the 1928 Amsterdam games, and the gold medals won in Atlanta (1996) by Donovan Bailey in the 100m (in world record time) and by the men's 4 × 100 m relay team. In 1912, Frank Lukeman originally finished fourth in the men's pentathlon. However, after learning that first place finisher Jim Thorpe had played semi-professional baseball before the 1912 Games, violating contemporary Olympic amateurism rules, the IOC stripped his gold medal in 1913. As a result, Lukeman was awarded the bronze medal. In 1982, the IOC was convinced that Thorpe's disqualification had been improper, as no protest against his eligibility had been brought within the required 30 days, and reinstated his medal, but without demoting the other athletes. In 2022, the IOC reinstated Thorpe as the sole gold medalist of the event, with Lukeman remaining bronze medalist. In 2008, Dylan Armstrong originally finished in fourth place in the men's shot put. However, following the third place finisher being disqualified for doping he was awarded the bronze medal. In 2012, Derek Drouin originally won bronze at the men's high jump. After gold medalist Ivan Ukhov of Russia was disqualified for doping in 2019, he was upgraded to silver in 2021. As a result, Canada's result was upgraded to a silver medal.
