The top three teams from each pool at the end of the round robin advanced to the playoff round. Based on results from the 2020 and 2022 events, certain provinces earned two berths to the championship. Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario and Saskatchewan each earned an extra berth on the men's side, while Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia got two berths on the women's side The host province, Quebec, also earned two teams.
