Ranked #4,688 in Entertainment, #52,696 overall

The Best Models from Canada

Hey there, and welcome to the sole lens dedicated to Canada's top models! I created this lens to showcase Canada's ability to turn out some of the world's greatest models, and they're all as diverse as their country. You can expect to find all the necessary details, photos, and videos of top models like Daria Werbowy and Jessica Stam. More models will be added soon, but if there's someone in particular you'd like to see, just a leave a comment in the guestbook. There's also links to some of Canada's prominent fashion magazines at the bottom.
