THOMAS ROCHELET (Montréal, QC) shocked the crowd with his head-turning aerial performance.
GERRARDON (Tokyo, Japan) had the audience and judges filled with laughter while introducing their “new sport.” Shania Twain even got on stage to give it a try herself!
Howie surprised TTC Bus Driver JONATHAN POOLEY (Paris, ON) with an opportunity to perform on the CGT stage. Jonathan sang his heart out during a cover of “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims and received a standing ovation from the crowd.
MONTREAL TRIO (Montréal, QC) used optical illusions and their magical background to stun and entertain the judges.
Howie hit his Golden Buzzer for singer DEEDEE AUSTIN (Abegweit First Nation, PEI) after she captivated audiences with her powerful original song, “Buried Truth”, a deeply moving tribute to the Indigenous Canadian experience.

Rogers is once again providing the winner of Canada’s Got Talent with a life-changing prize of $1M (plus $50 from Howie Mandel) – the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history, plus financial advice from CIBC. And that’s not all! Every Golden Buzzer recipient will receive $25,000 (totaling $150,000), courtesy of CIBC, to help realize their ambitions.
