About Us
Judging criteria
Who can participate ?
This contest is for the candidates between 14 and 33 years old from all the provinces of Canada.
Our Principles
1. I must have pageant experience to compete in a Miss CANADA or Miss Teen CANADA pageant.
On the contrary! Quite often our competitors are the “girls next door” with little or no pageant experience. Almost on an annual basis we have girls winning that have never competed with us before.
2. I must be “tall” to win a pageant.
Absolutely not! Each contestant in our pageant is an individual and the judges are looking for body proportion and personality, not a specific body measurement.
3. I am too old or too young to enter the pageant.
Never at any time are the judges directed to consider age when choosing a state winner. Age is only a factor in determining which division you will compete.
4. I have heard that the Miss Canada pageant is a more sexy pageant.
The Miss CANADA pageants are considered more “glamorous” than other pageants; but we advocate “elegance” and “grace.”.
5. I must wear the most beautiful, expensive gown in order to win.
Our judges are instructed to score the contestant’s poise and sense of style, not the gown itself. The secret is to feel beautiful with whatever gown choice you make.
6. I need a “pageant coach” to help me prepare.
Even though some contestants wish to seek expert advice, we do not see this reflected in the overall outcome of the pageant. Focus on being your “personal best!”
7. Can a candidate participate several times in the event.
Yes, the candidate can participate as many times as she wishes. The only candidate who does not have the right to re-enter: is the winner (Laureate) in her category.
8. Can I have a free registration for the event.
Yes, the candidate who wins the People’s Choice will have her registration free the following year.
Our History

Miss Canada
Miss Canada was the first competition of its kind in force across Canada. The election of Miss Canada began as a competition swimsuit for the centenary celebrations of Hamilton, Ont. in 1946. Forty women competed for the annual title awarded for beauty. Since 2006, there is no more parade in swimsuits, because the event advocates Personality and Attitude.
