Watch: Canada's five Eurovision hopefuls perform live ahead of 2027 debut
Canada's five Eurovision 2027 hopefuls have taken to the stage for live performances as they compete for the chance to represent their country at next year's contest in Bulgaria.
The artists performed during Horizon Eurovision, a special program broadcast by CBC/Radio-Canada on Sunday 1 November.
Each finalist delivered a 10-minute live set accompanied by musicians, giving audiences another opportunity to see what they could bring to the Eurovision stage.
The performances were hosted by Catherine Pogonat and Odario Williams and have since been broadcast across Canadian television and digital platforms.
Watch all five performances below.

How will Canada choose its Eurovision artist?
Canadian viewers have until Thursday 5 November at 11:59pm Pacific Time to vote for their favourite artist through CBC/Radio-Canada.
Each person can vote once per day, up to a maximum of 10 votes during the voting period.
The winning artist is expected to be announced by December, with their Eurovision entry to be selected afterwards.
The songs performed during Horizon Eurovision are not necessarily the songs that will compete at Eurovision.
Canada will make its Eurovision Song Contest debut in Burgas, Bulgaria, in May 2027, becoming the first new country to join the competition since Australia in 2015.
