Canada's Next Top Model (CNTM) is a Canadian reality show in which the aspiring model contestants are taught the ins and outs of the modeling world as they compete for the title "Canada's Next Top Model". The winner walks away with a modeling contract from Elmer Olsen Modeling Agency, a $100,000 beauty contract from Procter & Gamble (makers of Olay, Pantene, Nice 'n Easy, Crest White Strips and CoverGirl), and an editorial spread in Fashion magazine.

CNTM is based on the successful American franchise, America's Next Top Model. It is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with CTVglobemedia and CBS Paramount International TV.

As of July 2010, three cycles have been produced and aired. The series is on hiatus, as there has been no word regarding plans for a fourth cycle.

Show format

Each season of Canada's Next Top Model has from eight episodes and starts with approximately ten contestants. Each episode, one contestant is eliminated, though in rare cases a double elimination or no elimination was given by consensus of the judging panel. Makeovers are administered to contestants early in the season (usually after the first elimination in the finals).

Judges

As of 2009, the judging panel consists of fashion journalist Jeanne Beker, supermodel Yasmin Warsame and new judge fashion photographer Mike Ruiz. Previous judges included Tricia Helfer (Cycle 1; left the show to focus fully on her acting career), model and runway coach Stacey McKenzie, celebrity hair and make up stylist Paul Venoit and fashion photographer Paul Alexander. Usually, an additional guest judge will sit in on the panel every week.

Differences between ANTM and CNTM

CNTM shares a format of its American counterpart, however there is only one difference. The mail conversations (Tricia Mail in Cycle 1 and Jay Mail in later seasons) are hint to the contestants about the future challenge, or photo shoot. However, unlike Tyra Mail, Both mails are sometime a text message or DVD which is played on the television in the living room, where a video of Tricia Helfer (in the first season) and Jay Manuel comes on and tells the girls their riddle or details about the upcoming elimination.

Delay

There was a two year gap between the airing of the second cycle and the filming of the third cycle. This was because CHUM Limited, owners of Citytv as well as then-sister-station A-Channel, was sold to CTVglobemedia, parent company of CTV. Due to regulatory concerns, Citytv was sold to Rogers Media, thus delaying the third cycle until all business aspects were sorted out. CTVglobemedia kept the rights to the Top Model series in Canada. Production on the third cycle ended in March and the program first aired on May 26, 2009, on CTV and on May 31, 2009, on the newly renamed A. The series featured 11 girls from all across the country.
