The championships will return to Montreal from March 18-24, marking the 11th time Canada has staged the event.

"Skate Canada has a proven track record of holding successful ISU events and we are looking forward to bringing the world's best skaters to the fantastic Canadian city of Montreal," said Debra Armstrong, CEO of Skate Canada, in a statement.
