Well, guys look what I found. From Miss World Canada web site: "Eligibility of Applicant: 4. Must be a Canadian citizen by birth or naturalization and must provide proof of the foregoing". From Miss Universe Canada web site: "To qualify for the 2008 competition, you must be a Canadian Citizen and at least 18 years of age and under 27 years of age by February 1st, 2008". I don't know about eligibility for other pageants. BTW, to become a Canadian citizen a newcomer must have a legal immigration status of Landed Immigrant and live in Canada for at least 3 years. With all citizenship and pageant application processing time it means that a potential winner lived in Canada for at least 4 years. -- Canadian Pageant Fans' HQ

In reply to: Brent 's message, "You miss the point totally. If there is not a citizenship requirement, then Canada just becomes a place where anyone can run for the title. It would have no relation to Canada whatsoever. Conceivably some girl from Romania could send in her photos, be accepted for the pageant and arrive several days before. Why even call it Miss Universe Canada then. I stand by my comments. This isn't about immigrant's rights. There is no "right" to represent Canada in a beauty contest." on 18:56:26 04/21/08 Mon
