The 2021 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships were scheduled be held on February 8–14, 2021 at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. Medals were to be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance on the senior and junior levels. Although the official International Skating Union terminology for female skaters in the singles category is ladies, Skate Canada uses women officially. The results were supposed to be part of the Canadian selection criteria for the 2021 World Championships. (The other three ISU Championship events (the 2021 Four Continents Championships, and the 2021 World Junior Championships) were cancelled.)

Vancouver was announced as the host in January 2020.[1] The city has hosted the event six times previously. Competitors qualified at the Skate Canada Challenge in January.[2]

The competition was officially cancelled on January 11th.[3]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The competition was originally scheduled for January 11–17, 2021, but was postponed to October 2020.[4] No novice events were held. The Skate Canada Challenge, normally held in December and the main qualifier for Nationals, was postponed and held virtually. The number of competitors in each discipline was also reduced.[4] The competition was officially cancelled on January 11, due to unpredictable travel restrictions and rink closures.[3]

Entries

The top two flights (12 in singles, 8 in pairs, and 10 in ice dance) in each discipline at the 2021 Skate Canada Challenge qualified to Nationals.[5]
