MCT at Miss Chinese International
- Toronto participated at Miss Chinese International every year, except in 1989, 1994, and 1995. The representatives that participated before 1995 were all winners of the Greater Toronto Chinese Pageant. Toronto has been very successful at the pageant, producing three winners. Unlike Hong Kong, the city does not have a streak of placing consecutively for many years. But, nevertheless, the city usually places high once their representative makes the top 5/10.
