Welcome to the CBBF Website
The CBBF is Canada's only federally recognized governing body for amateur bodybuilding, fitness and body fitness (figure)
competition. This is the only Canadian organization that qualifies competitors for
competition at the three annual IFBB World Championships, and the only one that awards competitors an IFBB Pro
Card. Participating in CBBF events means you are able to compete with the best athletes in Canada who qualify
through stringent tiered systems in their host provinces and are judged by qualified provincial and national judges. Only
those competitions that appear on our Events listing listing under each of the sections are sanctioned
by the CBBF. Please contact us at info@cbbf.ca if you have any questions.
The IFBB is the international federation for bodybuilding, fitness and body fitness. The IFBB has more
than 170 member countries and is recognized worldwide. For more on the IFBB, please visit

| Additional IFBB Professional League Card |
The CBBF is very excited to announce that an additional IFBB Professional League card will be provided at the 2010 CBBF Natural Physique Championships, being held in Laval, QC and promoted by our good friend Joe Spinello.
At our 2009 AGM it was unanimously passed that an IFBB Pro card be provided to the overall Body Fitness (FIGURE) champion and the overall FITNESS champion.
After conversations with the promoter and the CBBF executive the additional IFBB Pro card will be provided to the overall BIKINI champion.
However, it will be up to the provincial associations to determine whether the bikini athletes may enter this event, as some do have qualifying events for bikini athletes.
The bikini division, as of yet, is not an IFBB Amateur Worlds category, so this division is being added to the Natural Physique Championships to provide the opportunity for athletes who are entering this sport to participate for an IFBB Pro card.
More information will be provided to our website in the near future.

| International Competition Qualification Standards |
IFBB Amateur World Championships/Euro Elite Tour/other IFBB International events
CBBF athletes must compete yearly at the CBBF National World Qualifier for selection to Team Canada for the right to compete at the annual IFBB World Championships.
If you compete in 2008 you may achieve a position on the 2008 Team Canada.
Presently there are four IFBB World Championships, with spots for only limited
athletes to compete, winners from the one of the top three placings at the CBBF
National World Qualifier may be selected by the CBBF Selection Committee.
If athletes do not compete in classes available this opens positions
in other classes, normally a country is able to provide only one
athlete per class, however if athletes decline the opportunity to
compete or if no athletes compete this opens another position, for
a class which has an athlete already agreeing to compete at the IFBB Worlds.
IFBB Amateur North American Championships
The top-5 positions from the two-years previous to the North Americans qualify for competition in this event.
This event is open to bikini, bodybuilders, figure and fitness athletes only.
