The Amazing Race Canada 3 is the third season of The Amazing Race Canada, a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Jon Montgomery, it featured twelve teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race across Canada and the world. The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, "gas for life" from Petro-Canada, the opportunity to fly for a year anywhere Air Canada flies worldwide, and two Chevrolet Colorado "Z71" Trucks.

Starting in Quebec City, racers travelled through Quebec, Ontario, Chile, Argentina, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, India, British Columbia, and Alberta before finishing in Whistler, British Columbia. New twists introduced in this season include hiding an Express Pass on the racecourse and the Face Off, where two teams competed against each other in a task. The season premiere aired on CTV on July 8, 2015, with the season finale airing on September 23, 2015.

The Amazing Race Canada is a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Following the premise of other versions in the Amazing Race franchise, the show follows teams of two as they race across Canada and around the world. Each season is split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated Pit Stops. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins a grand prize of CA$250,000 and additional prizes from the show's sponsors.
