Who Wants to Be A Millionaire: Canadian Edition was a Canadian game show based on the British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and taped on the ABC Television Network set of the American version of that show. A Canadian audience was flown to the American studio in New York for the shows, so the contestants could "ask the audience" for help on the Canadian-themed questions. Following the airing of the two specials, CTV did announce that additional episodes of the Canadian Edition would be produced, but they never came to fruition. The series was hosted by Pamela Wallin.

The Canadian version aired on CTV in September 2000.

Gameplay

As in the United Kingdom and the United States, contestants tried to answer 15 multiple-choice questions to win CA$1,000,000 (US$750,000) with three lifelines (50:50, Phone-A-Friend, and Ask The Audience) to help them. Contestants were guaranteed $1,000 for correctly answering the fifth question, and $32,000 for the tenth.

Bill Shizas was the first contestant on the Canadian show. He won $1,000 after answering his $8,000 question incorrectly.

The biggest winner during the show's run was François Dominic Laramée, a writer from Verdun, Quebec. He won $64,000.
