ALL-TIME CANADIAN RECORDS:
Senior Total Score (SD+FD): 190.99, set by Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games
*Junior Total Score (SD+FD): 145.25, set by Madeline Edwards & ZhaoKai Pang at the 2013 Canadian Championships
Novice Total Score: 96.75, set by Madeline Edwards & ZhaoKai Pang at 2011 Skate Canada Junior Nationals

Most Canadian Titles: Shae-Lynn Bourne & Victor Kraatz, with 10 senior titles and 1 junior title
Consecutive Canadian Medals: Megan Wing & Aaron Lowe, with 10 senior medals from 1997 to 2006
Titles at Multiple Levels: Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir (Sr, Jr, PN, Juv) and Madeline Edwards & ZhaoKai Pang (Jr, Nov, PN, Juv), each with titles at four levels

*Skate Canada recognizes an “adjusted” version of Virtue & Moir’s score from 2005 JGP Andorra as its junior record. However, that score was set when compulsories were still part of the competition, and IDC prefers to keep the CD+OD+FD and the SD+FD scores separate.
