In a Big Brother Canada first (and a Big Brother franchise first), the house is opening its doors to international Big Brother contestants.
For the first time in Big Brother history, four international former houseguests are vying for a spot in the house, but only two will make it, and Canada holds all the cards.
Starting Tuesday, Canadians have the chance to vote for two of this season’s houseguests by choosing two of four international wildcard players. Fans can cast their vote for their favourite female and male competitors to enter the Big Brother Canada house. Voting closes Thursday, March 3 at 3 p.m. ET.

Upping the ante and raising the stakes, these international players take the competition to a whole new level as they bring their own unique Big Brother experiences to Season 4 of Big Brother Canada. Find out which wildcards make the cut as reveals roll out during the first broadcast week of Big Brother Canada, which premieres Wednesday, March 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Global.
This wildcard element brings together some of the most talked-about players of all-time to see how they fare against Canada’s new houseguests. The international wildcard choices are Jase Wirey (Big Brother U.S.), Nikki Grahame (Big Brother UK), Tim Dormer (Big Brother Australia), and Veronica Graf (Big Brother Italy).
“We’re very excited to be introducing this new aspect to Big Brother Canada which has never been done in any country before,” said Christine Shipton, SVP, Content, Shaw Media. “The addition of the international wildcards makes this season especially unique and unpredictable. Big Brother follows different house rules in each country and these worlds are about to collide!”
