Deal or No Deal Canada is the Canadian-English version of the show Deal or No Deal, which premiered on February 4, 2007. The show ran on the Global Television Network, and lasted five episodes.

The host of the U.S. version, Canadian-born Howie Mandel, hosts the Canadian version of the show. The producer and director of the US version, Scott St. John and R. Brian DiPirro, respectively, also went to Canada to produce this version.

The show was taped at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto on January 23, 24 and 25, 2007 after receiving 112,767 applicants from prospective players.

The first episode aired on Sunday, February 4. This episode attracted 2.7 million viewers, making it the single highest rated Canadian program ever on Global [1]. The remaining episodes aired over the following four consecutive Thursdays, with the finale on March 1, 2007.

Despite the show's success in its brief five episode run, Global never picked up the show for a full-season run.

Five of the 26 models were selected from casting calls in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal, joining 21 other professionally hired models. The full list is as follows:

Despite being a Canadian native, Leyla Milani (who holds Case #13 on the US version) is not one of the models on the Canadian version.

The amounts remain the same as the American edition, except for the re-labeling of the $1 value using the common nickname "loonie", the addition of a "toonie" case, and the removal of the $400,000 value. All amounts are in Canadian dollars, tax-free.

Presented by ET Canada correspondent Rick Campanelli, Canada's Case Game is modelled after the American Lucky Case Game. During commercials, five cases are displayed by a selection of the models. Viewers are invited to choose a case by texting a number (at a cost of $1 per message) or entering at globaltv.com, with the winning case displayed at the end of the program and all those who selected that case being entered in the draw for the grand prize.
