Qualification

Main article: Canoeing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Qualification

The first five boats in each event qualified from the 2010 Pan American Championship in Mexico City. This gave a total of 110 out of the 130 athlete quotas used. Out of the remaining 20 spots 10 will go to countries not already qualified and the remaining 10 spots will be determined by the Pan American Canoe Federation. Out of the remaining spots, some will be awarded to Mexico if it has not qualified a boat through the Pan American Championship, therefore reducing the remaining number. An NOC can enter a maximum of 16 athletes (10 men and 6 women).
