They uploaded the selection criteria for senior internationals:


Interestingly that in the past the domestic score said specifically from Canadian Championships. This document just says a domestic score from 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 season. Let's see if this will increase the number of assignments. There are also target scores from 2023-2024 international competitions.

The target scores are (international then domestic)

Men: 204, 219
Women: 155, 166
Paris: 152, 163
Dance: 154, 165

Skaters who met the scores last season at least once (internationally // domestically)

Men: Wesley Chiu, Stephen Gogolev, Roman Sadovsky, Aleksa Rakic

Women: Maddie Schizas, Kaiya Ruiter, Sara-Maude Dupuis, Justine Miclette // Fée-Ann Landry, Uliana Shiryaeva, Audréanne Foster

Pairs: Stellato/Deschamps, Pereira/Michaud, Laurin/Ethier, Ariano Kent/Laliberté Laurent (JR), Desrochers/Thrasher (JR)

Dance: Gilles/Poirier, Lajoie/Lagha, Fournier Beaudry/Sorensen, Lauriault/Le Gac, Fabbri/Ayer, Bashynska/Beaumont, Hensen/Lickers, Gauthier/Thieren (going back to JR), Robinson/Portz (LPI 2023) // Sales/Wamsteeker

I included juniors only if they are senior eligible. I checked all the domestic scores I could find results for, but may have missed someone. Last season 10 dance teams got a CS, and G/P didn't do one. So I wouldn't be surprised if all the teams who hit the scores get something, except G/T who are going back to juniors. For pairs, I'm not sure if the junior pairs will do a senior event or not, and I do expect Bombardier/Mimar to get one as long as they look decent in the summer. For the men, only the four who have GP spots have met the scores, so they'll all get assignments, and hopefully someone else will hit the benchmark this summer. For women, hopefully they'll all get at least one CS, but who knows with SC.

Thank you so much @RoseRed for compiling that. I did glance at the women's scores but didn't have time to look at the other disciplines.

I'm not sure if any of those junior pairs are senior age eligible yet.

I think Landry and Shiryaeva will get something. I wonder if Foster is competing this season as she is not registered for Quebec Summer Skate. She's one of my favourites so I hope so.

Kemp/Elizarov aren't eligible for seniors yet - Ava is a year too young.

So, it appears that Breken Brezden has hit the domestic score required to be eligible for international assignments.

Skate Canada seems to be very tight with their international assignments so far. Just 1 entrant in each discipline for Cranberry Cup and John Nicks Int'l Pairs Challenge respectively, and no entrants for Lombardia Trophy.

The lack of entries for Lombardia is particularly disappointing.

They usually send ice dancers to this event so no entries was surprising. There are a lot of competitions remaining on the international assignments page, including some Canada doesn't usually attend (Denis Ten memorial and Tallinn trophy). Fingers crossed they will update assignments soon.

Thanks for the info @jmtfti

I wondered if Miclette would be there as she posted an insta story that she was on a plane heading to Toronto.

National team members not listed are Anthony Paradis (he's competing in Latvia this week) and Hetty Shi (who has her JGP in a couple of weeks). And they invited two dance teams not on the national team
