The Canada Open (French: Open du Canada) in badminton is an international open held in Canada since 1957. In recent years the tournament has been held annually in September.
In 1957 the Canadian Badminton Federation decided to open the Canadian National Championships and they were combined with the Canadian Open until 1961. In 1962 they were divided and held as separate tournaments. 2008 and 2009 the championships were held as Canadian International. From 2023 onwards, this will be a Super 500 tournament.[1] On 19 March 2025, the tournament was demoted to a Super 300 level for 2025 and 2026 seasons.[2]
