The sixth season of MasterChef Canada aired its special 2-hour season premiere on April 8, 2019 on CTV, concluding on June 10, 2019 with Jennifer Crawford of Kingston, Nova Scotia crowned as the winner and Andre Bhagwandat of Scarborough, Ontario finishing as the runner-up. He subsequently returned to compete again on MasterChef Canada: Back to Win, where he placed 7th. Crawford became the first non-binary person and the first person from the Maritimes to win the competition.
CTV announced the renewal in August 2018 and casting call tryouts were held that fall. Filming began in early December of 2018 and wrapped up in mid-February 2019. In a new unique twist this season (which did not feature the iconic annual tag-team challenge that was featured in the previous five seasons), each judge selected six home cooks to invite to the Top 18, with each member receiving personal invitations delivered via courier. This is the penultimate season narrated by Charlie Ryan and featuring Aprile, Leung and Bonacini as judges.
