It will do .
I wonder if a Canadian proxy will be needed to get their live feed.......
I also wonder whether Canadian viewers will get BB fatigue, since they say they are still going to simulcast BBUSA before their own version.
I don't think it's going to follow the US format exactly, though the 3 shows a week and competitiveness aspects of the quote do suggest it. I'm expecting it to be different to the US version because the Canadian viewers are already watching the US version - they will want it to stand out.

Surely the fact it's people from their own country will be enough to make it stand out a bit, but yeah there probably will be some differences.

Some more BB Canada info.
It'll be great if it runs Apr-Jun so not clashing with BBUS.

24/7 live feeds like the American version. RT @insightprod Let us know what you are hoping to see on
Do I hear 24/7 live feeds? Goody !
I'm pretty sure that there will be live feed. Slice is currently airing BB:AD, and I don't see why there won't be live feed.

It's probably going to follow the US format because most Canadians have likely never seen the international format. I personally would like a the public to have some say in what goes on in the house, but not to entirely choose who stays, who goes, and ultimately who wins.
Construction on the house is supposed to be happening this month.
Also the lower age restriction is 19, compared to 21 for the USA.
Also it's approximately 75 days long, the same as recent US versions. Also applicants will live with approximately 'a dozen' strangers.. so around 13 people in all.
Prize fund $100k (Canadian dollars, of course!) subject to change.
Applicants don't have to be an actual Canadian citizen, just a permanent resident.. I think that differs from the US
