Miss World Canada is an annual national beauty pageant held in Canada held annually since 1980. It selects a representative to Miss World. Prior to 1980, it was either a formal and/or informal title that referred to the Canadian representative at Miss World. The first year Canada competed at Miss World as Miss Canada (or Miss World Canada) was in 1957. In 2017 MTC-W Inc. obtained the rights to send the Canadian representative to Miss World. The chaired since 2016 is former Miss World Canada 1996 Michelle Weswaldi. The pageant is held each summer in Toronto, Ontario, but in 2020 the national competition was held on November 7.
In 2020, the head-to-head challenge competition was added as part of the selection process. All of the 44 candidates participated in an interview round hosted by Mr. World Canada 2012, Frankie Cena. The first winner was Aiona Santana.
