Judging

For the 2025–26 season, all of the technical elements in any figure skating performance – such as jumps, spins, and lifts  –were assigned a predetermined base point value and were then scored by a panel of seven or nine judges on a scale from -5 to 5 based on their quality of execution. ^[15] The judging panel's Grade of Execution (GOE) was determined by calculating the trimmed mean (that is, the average after deleting the highest and lowest scores), and this GOE was added to the base value to come up with the final score for each element. The panel's scores for all elements were added together to generate a total elements score. ^[16] At the same time, judges evaluated each performance based on three program components –skating skills, presentation, and composition –and assigned a score from .25 to 10 in .25 point increments. ^[17] The judging panel's final score for each program component was also determined by calculating the trimmed mean. Those scores were then multiplied by the factor shown on the following chart; the results were added together to generate a total program component score. ^[18]

Program component factoring ^{[19] [20]}

Discipline	Short program or Rhythm dance	Free skate or Free dance
Men	1.67	3.33
Women	1.33	2.67
Pairs	1.33	2.67
Ice dance	1.33	2.00
Synchronized	1.33	2.67

Deductions were applied for certain violations like time infractions, stops and restarts, or falls. ^[21] The total elements score and total program component score were added together, minus any deductions, to generate a final performance score for each skater or team. ^[22]

Senior results

Men's singles

After a series of injuries kept him out of competition foe years, Stephen Gogolev captured his first Canadian Championship title, winning both the short program and the free skate. "The past couple of years have been quite a struggle," Gogolev stated. "Coming back this season is very special." ^[25] As a junior skater, Gogolev had been dubbed "the next great Canadian men's hope" before a growth spurt and back injuries derailed his progress. ^[25] "There were definitely a lot of doubts in my mind in the past few years," Gogolev said. "There were even times where I thought maybe it's not worth continuing doing because it was year after year where I wasn't able to perform and compete the way I wanted to or even compete at all." ^[25] Gogolev defeated Roman Sadovsky, who finished in second place. With Canada only allotted one entrant in the men's event at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Gogolev and Sadovsky were considered the two likeliest candidates. ^[26] Sadovsky broke down and began crying upon completion of his free skate. "I was surprised how emotional I got at the end, but it was just such a roller-coaster this whole year," Sadovsky said. ^[25] He had trailed Gogolev by nearly eighteen points after the short program. Aleksa Rakic finished in third place. ^[25]

Women's singles

"Over my dead body is someone else going to the Olympics," Madeline Schizas said on 9 January 2026. ^[28] Schizas backed up that statement with a "near-perfect" free skate and ultimate victory at the Canadian Championships, earning a spot on the Canadian team headed to the 2026 Winter Olympics. "I meant it. I wasn't going down without a fight, and I think I proved that today," Schizas said after the free skate. "It wasn't meant in a bad faith sort of way; it was about myself and the fact that I was prepared to fight for what I wanted." ^[28] Schizas faced stiff competition from Gabrielle Daleman, who had returned to competition this season after having not competed since 2022. "At the end of the day, it took a lot of guts and a lot of courage for me to come back," Daleman stated. "I fought through the entire program... It was great competition. [Schizas] killed it. She knocked it out of the park." ^[28] Canada could only send one women's singles skater to the 2026 Winter Olympics. "I'm very hard on myself, I wanted this spot, didn't get it," Daleman said. "[I] was extremely proud. I was not able to get out of bed a year ago. I wasn't walking a year, and now I'm again on the national podium after being told I wouldn't skate or walk again." ^[28] Daleman won the silver medal, having finished in second place in both the short program and the free skate. Minsol Kwon, formerly of South Korea and now competing for Canada, finished in third place. ^[28]
