The Miss Universe Canada contest was first held in 2003, with the first winner being Leanne Marie Cecile. Cecile made the top 10 in Miss Universe 2003.
Natalie Glebova was crowned the winner in 2005, and went on to become Miss Universe 2005. Glebova's successor, Alice Panikian was viewed as a strong contender to win the 2006 Miss Universe crown and placed in the Top 10.
