RAW classifications

Certificates are rewarded for lifters who reach Master and Elite level. Canadian Nationals are open, however, lifters must meet class 1 qualifications to be recognized at Canadian National Champions in the open division (teens juniors and masters need to see the classes specified just below the charts to see the classifications needed for them to be National Champions).
