Early career

Bilodeau teamed up with Krystel Desjardins by 2008. The pair won gold on the novice level at the 2010 Canadian Championships and silver on the junior level at the 2012 Canadian Championships. They debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in the 2012–13 season but ended their partnership after placing tenth in Lake Placid, New York and ninth in Zagreb, Croatia.

Partnership with Séguin

Bilodeau teamed up with Julianne Séguin in November 2012.[3] They train in Chambly, Quebec.[2]

2013–14 season

Séguin/Bilodeau debuted internationally in autumn 2013. Competing in the 2013–14 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, they placed fourth in the Czech Republic and fifth in Belarus. They won the junior silver medal at the 2014 Canadian Championships and were assigned to represent Canada at the 2014 World Junior Championships.[4][5] The pair withdrew due to Séguin's back injury.[6][7]

2014–15 season

During the 2014 JGP series, Séguin/Bilodeau outscored Russia's Lina Fedorova / Maxim Miroshkin for the gold medal in Ostrava, Czech Republic.[2] Upon winning another gold in Dresden, Germany, the pair qualified for the JGP Final. At the latter event, held in December 2014 in Barcelona, they placed first in both segments and won the gold medal by a margin of 9.79 points over Fedorova/Miroshkin. In January 2015, Séguin/Bilodeau took the senior bronze medal at the Canadian Championships and were named in Canada's teams to the junior and senior World Championships. In February, they were awarded the silver medal at Junior Worlds in Tallinn, Estonia, having placed second to China's Yu Xiaoyu / Jin Yang. In March, they ranked tenth in both segments and finished eighth overall at the World Championships in Shanghai, China.

2015–16 season

Séguin/Bilodeau won silver at the 2016 Canadian Nationals. They withdrew from the 2016 Four Continents due to a minor injury to Séguin.[8] They later withdrew from 2016 Worlds as well, stating that the injury was not fully healed and they had missed many practices.[9]
