The fourth season of MasterChef Canada originally premiered on March 2, 2017 on CTV before concluding on June 1. In the United States, this season aired on The Cooking Channel on October 10, 2017. Trevor Connie was crowned the winner. Connie also guest starred in an episode of season five. This was the first season to change up the show's traditional, original audition format, instead directly facing the twenty-four applicants with a surprise challenge remotely in their hometowns and workplaces that would be finished in the MasterChef Canada kitchen, where only a dozen spots in the competition were available. This season also marks the first time that the finale required the finalists to constantly work non-stop for three whole hours to pump out their dishes, which became the norm in subsequent seasons.
Runner-up Dorothea "Thea" VanHerwaarden, fourth place quarterfinalist Mai Nguyen, and third place semifinalist Barrie McConachie, all returned to MasterChef Canada: Back to Win. Barrie placed 9th after initially placing 11th due to a contestant withdrawing from the season while Mai placed 5th. Thea was co-runner-up of the season.
