It was a night of entertainment, prestige and glamour all as the 12th annual Miss India-Canada pageant began with the16 contestants paying tribute to this year's Guest of Honour, Raveena Tandon, by dancing to the tunes from a few of her hit movies.

The judges were then put to the test as each contestant went through the first three segments: Indian Costume, Evening Gown, and Talent. The Top 5 finalists were then introduced in random order: Anjulie Gill of Richmond, BC; Anu Singh of Mississauga, ON; Joyti Kapoor of Markham, ON; Subeena Ishaq of Brampton, ON, and Shivani Singh of Mississauga, ON. The final segment of Question & Answer involved asking each contestant a different question on stage before the panel of judges.

As the audience waited, emcees Karen Johnson and Rupinder Nagra announced the runner-ups: the Second Runner-up was Anu Singh and the First Runner-up was Subeena Ishaq. Karen and Rupinder then went on to call Raveena Tandon on stage to crown Shivani Singh as Miss India-Canada 2002.
