Finalists are determined by viewers’ votes.

On the first day they have two hours after the show to vote for the favorite contestant.

The next day the one with the fewest votes is sent home and the others are performing for the second time.

After the second episode viewers have several days to vote and the competitor getting the most votes is considered a winner.

Final stage of the show on which one winner must be selected from the Top 10 is held at the John Bassett Theatre in Toronto, Ontario.
