The Amazing Race Canada 3

Development and filming

On September 23, 2014, CTV announced that the show was renewed for a third season during the second season reunion special.

This season, teams will face a brand new twist, called the Face Off, where teams have to compete head-to-head in a pre-determined challenge, where winning teams can move on to the next challenge, while the losing team must wait for new challengers. The team who looses the last "Face Off" must face a time penalty. This could potentially dramatically alter the placement order of teams throughout legs of the race. In an article for the official Amazing Race Canada CTV website, the "Face Off" was described as "first and exclusive" to the Canadian edition with host Jon Montgomery stating that they "invented" the twist despite having already been introduced under various names in at least five other Amazing Race editions worldwide.

This season featured sportscaster James Duthie, who helped the teams during the first Roadblock in Leg 1 and Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, who greeted the teams at the Pit Stop of Leg 6 in his hometown of Sudbury, Ontario.

Casting

Casting began in November 24, 2014, and as in the previous two seasons, an online site was used for submission of applications and audition videos. The first three teams were revealed on June 15, 2015, with the rest named thereafter. The cast includes UFC mixed martial artist Elias Theodorou, footballer Nicholas "Nic" La Monaca and former CFL player Neil Lumsden. Hamilton Elliott is the first transgender contestant in the major English-language version of the Race. (Jervi Li of the inaugural season of The Amazing Race Philippines was the first transgender contestant overall.)

Broadcasting

Similar to the previous season, after episode 7, a special mid-season reunion/recap titled "After The Race" aired. Hosted again by James Duthie, the program reviewed the events of the first 7 episodes with the first 6 eliminated teams, minus Amanda who was unable to attend. Duthie hosted another "After The Race" immediately after the season finale with every contestant present to review the season as a whole.

Marketing

Scotiabank discontinued their sponsorship while BMO Financial Group became the newest sponsor.
