QUALIFYING STRUCTURE

Skaters qualify for the Canadian National Championships by competing at one of eight sectional championships. Sectional championships have five levels of skating in each discipline: juvenile, pre-novice, novice, junior, and senior. Top finishers at sectionals in pre-novice, novice, senior, and junior then advance to the Skate Canada Challenge, the last qualifying competition before Nationals. Top finishers in novice, junior, and senior at Skate Canada Challenge advance to the National Championships. The maximum number of skaters who can compete at Nationals is 18 men, 18 women, 12 pairs, and 15 dance teams at each level.

Skaters can be granted immediate qualification to Nationals by medaling at the senior level in the previous season, or be exempted from qualifying competitions due to an international assignment taking place around the same time.
