Elite Franchise Top 100 Awards Canada 2027
As Elite Franchise prepares to celebrate the third Elite Franchise Top 100 Canada Awards, we’re excited to share some important updates ahead of this year’s awards programme.
Following the continued growth of the rankings and increasing interest from franchise brands across Canada, entries for the EF100 Canada Awards 2027 will open earlier than previous years.
Entries for the EF100 Canada Awards 2027 will open on July 6, 2026.
By opening earlier, franchisors will have more time to prepare their submissions, gather supporting evidence and put forward the strongest possible entry for consideration.
