According to the "Jeopardy!" website FAQ , Canadian contestants are currently ineligible to compete on the popular quiz show. "At this time we are precluded from accepting registration information from Canadian residents," the FAQ explains. "We are currently evaluating this matter."

"It is true that for the most recent "Jeopardy!" contestant tryouts, Canadians were precluded from taking the online test, since the show must now comply with new rules set down by the Canadian government," show host Alex Trebek told the Ottawa Citizen. "We have had many Canadians as contestants throughout the history of the show, and we hope that will continue, because Canadians make great game show contestants."
