Canada will take part in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 2027.
 
They will join a list of non-European countries to take part in the contest, including the likes of Australia, the last country to join, in 2015.
 
From Celine Dion - who won Eurovision for Switzerland in the 1980s - to Avril Lavigne, Canada’s never been a country to lack musical talent.
 
But Canada enter at a turbulent time for the song contest, with a number of countries boycotting the competition last year over Israel’s participation.
 
According to organisers, Canada will debut at next year’s semi-finals in Bulgaria.
