MasterChef Canada season 7
The seventh season of MasterChef Canada, titled MasterChef Canada: Back to Win, premiered on February 14, 2021, on CTV and concluded on May 16, 2021. Filmed over the summer of 2020, this is an all-star season, featuring a dozen previously eliminated contestants as well as former runners-up from the past six seasons returning to compete once again for a second chance at winning the life-changing title, skipping the auditions entirely.
Chinese-Canadian Markham-based dessert bar and bakery owner Christopher Siu, a fifth place quarterfinalist from Season 2, was crowned the winner, with Season 5 runner-up Andrew "Andy" Hay and Season 4 runner-up Dorothea "Thea" VanHerwaarden finishing as co-runners-up. Siu became the first previously eliminated contestant to win the entire competition. This season marks the very first time that three finalists competed in the first-ever three-way finale. It is also the last season narrated by Charlie Ryan and features Aprile, Leung and Bonacini as the original three main judges for the last time.
