Each week, up to seven semifinalists take the Canada’s Got Talent stage to show the judges, the live studio audience, and viewers across Canada if they have what it takes to reach the finals and be crowned the nation’s most talented performer. In the weekly results show, two semifinalists will advance – one who collects the most viewers’ votes and one selected by judges Martin Short, MeashaBrueggergosman and Stephan Moccio from the acts who placed second and third amongst voters.
