The Amazing Race Canada 11 is the eleventh season of The Amazing Race Canada , a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race . Hosted by Jon Montgomery, it features eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race across Canada. The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, a trip around the world, and two 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS vehicles. Filming took place between April 22 and May 16, 2025. This season visited five provinces and one territory and travelled over 19,000 kilometres (12,000 mi) during ten legs.
