Canadian Mathematical OlympiadThe Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO) is Canada’s premier national advanced mathematics competition. Competitors require an invitation from the Canadian Mathematical Society in order to participate. The 3-hour competitions is held each March at a selected time and date. All official participants write at the same time and are proctored by their local school faculty or staff. The top students at the CMO can readily expect great scholarship and recruitment offers from universities. They will also be short-listed for the selection for Team Canada at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Math Prize for GirlsThe Math Prize for Girls is an annual mathematics competition open to female high school students from the United States and Canada. The competition offers the world’s largest single monetary math prize in a math contest for young women. The single-day annual contest is open to female high-school students in 12th grade or below, from the United States and Canada who have attained a qualifying score on the American Mathematics Competitions Exams, specifically the AMC 10 or AMC 12 each year. Up to 300 participants are then selected each year for the competition. Participants must complete 20 short-answer problems in geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and other math topics in 150 minutes. The exams are then reviewed by a panel of judges, who award cash prizes to the top-scoring participants. Top 35 performers are invited to participate in the Math Prize Olympiad, a proof-based contest to be administered at a student's school.

Canadian Junior Mathematical OlympiadThe Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO) is Canada’s premier national advanced mathematics competition. Competitors require an invitation from the Canadian Mathematical Society in order to participate. The Canadian Junior Mathematical Olympiad (CJMO), also by invitation only, is held at the same time for students up to grade ten. The CJMO is not as challenging as the CMO, however some problems may appear in both competitions.

Canadian Math Kangaroo ContestThe Canadian Math Kangaroo Contest (CMKC) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization which aims to spread the joy of mathematics. The CMKC Corporation is administered by mathematicians and teachers of mathematics who cooperate with other professionals in order to provide an atmosphere and conditions suitable for motivating students to learn. We love mathematics and share our passion for the wonderful cause of creating a better future with better education for children. The Contest-Game Math Kangaroo originated in France in 1991 and quickly became very popular among students in many European countries. Several years later, the association "Kangourou sans frontieres" was founded and it now organizes the event. The contest's main purpose is to promote mathematical thinking and stimulate an interest in math, by providing students with an opportunity to compare their abilities against the abilities of other students, from different countries around the world.

Canada Lynx Mathematical CompetitionThe Canada Lynx Mathematical Competition (CLMC) was launched by Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) for students in grades 9-12. This competition was created to foster an interest in mathematics among students regardless of their skill level, to increase student confidence in their math abilities, and to present mathematics as a fun and playful subject to students. It serves as great practice for students with advanced mathematical skills who wish to participate in the prestigious Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC) that takes place in October each year.

Canadian Mathematical Olympiad Qualifying RepêchageThe Canadian Mathematical Olympiad Qualifying Repêchage (or just “Repêchage”) is an annual competition that serves as a qualifier for the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO). It typically runs at the beginning of February each year, shortly after results of the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC) are announced. Participation is by invitation only. The competitors who demonstrate the most innovative, clear, and complete solutions are immediately invited to register for the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO), Canada’s most prestigious math competition for secondary students and the gateway representing Canada at the summer’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Students in grade ten or under who do well on the Repêchage, but not well enough for the CMO earn invitations to the Junior CMO (CJMO). There are no other prizes or certificates for participation.

Canada Open Mathematical ChallengeThe Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC) is Canada’s premier national mathematics competition open to any student with an interest in and grasp of high school math. The purpose of the COMC is to encourage students to explore, discover, and learn more about mathematics and problem solving. The competition serves to provide teachers with a unique student enrichment activity during the fall term. It is the most prestigious math competition in Canada, and one of the most prestigious in the Americas. The COMC is the only way to be invited to the CMS’ free, exclusive training camps and compete internationally as part of Math Team Canada.

Canada Jay Mathematical CompetitionCanada Jay Mathematical Competition (CJMC) is a Canadian math competition open to students in grades K-8. This competition has been created by mathematicians from across Canada. It was renamed in 2022 from the original name Canadian Mathematical Gray Jay Competition (CMGC) to match the renaming of the Canada Jay bird. The CJMC is 90 minutes long, consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions based on the grades 5-8 curriculum. The problems are meant to be a fun fall activity for students and teachers to complement their math curriculum and build students’ problem solving skills. The CJMC offers engaging problems that allow for discussion after the competition and get students excited about math. The competition has 15 questions which take place over 90 minutes. It consists of 3 blocks of 5 questions with an increasing level of difficulty from beginning to end.
