It is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with CTVglobemedia and CBS Paramount International TV.

cycle 3 featured two international destinations, but the show only stayed abroad for a few days, returning to Canada afterward for all eliminations.

Previous judges included Tricia Helfer (cycle 1; left the show to focus fully on her acting career), model and runway coach Stacey McKenzie, celebrity hair and make up stylist Paul Venoit and fashion photographer Paul Alexander.

This was because CHUM Limited, owners of Citytv as well as then-sister-station A-Channel, was sold to CTVglobemedia, parent company of CTV.

Due to regulatory concerns, Citytv was sold to Rogers Media, thus delaying the third cycle until all business aspects were sorted out.
