The third season of Canada's Got Talent, is a reality television series.[1] The season premiered on March 21, 2023.[2] [3] [4]

The season was won by Conversion, a dance group from Trois-Rivières, Quebec.

Format

Auditions

The auditions took place in front of the judges and a live audience. At any time during the audition, the judges showed their disapproval of the act by pressing a buzzer, which lights a large red "X" on the stage. If all the judges pressed their buzzers, the act must end. Voting worked on a majority-of-three basis, where three positive votes from the judges were required. The Golden Buzzer is placed in the center of the stage, and each judge (or the host) can only press the Golden Buzzer once, sending an act straight to the semi-finals.

Semi-finals

The semi-finals and final were broadcast through three episodes, two semi-finals and one finale. Judges could still end a performance early with four Xs. The acts competed for three judge votes that sent them straight to the finals, and the rest competed for a Canada-wide vote that dictated the rest of the finalists. The judges were asked to express their views on each act's performance. Phone lines, Twitter, Facebook, texting and online voting platforms opened for one-hour after all acts were performed. The public voted for the act they thought was the best. Voters could submit a total of fifty votes (ten in each platform). After the votes were counted, the act that polled the highest number of public votes, automatically was placed in the final. The judges then chose between the second and third most popular acts, with the winner of that vote also gaining a place in the final. All other acts were then eliminated from the competition.

Judges and host

The show premiered with the same judges and host as the previous season.

Season overview

Judge Lilly Singh gave her Golden Buzzer to aerial acrobatics duo Woody & Fenton in the fifth episode. Due to an injury, the act had to withdraw from the competition.[5]
