Cananda Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party seems on track to win the election, CBC News projected.
Results are trickling and the reports said it was too soon to say how strong a government Trudeau would form.
Trudeau had taken a big gamble by calling an election two years early in hopes of securing a parliamentary majority. And it seemed to have paid off.
Elections Canada showed the Liberals leading in nearly 150 electoral districts with only a small fraction of votes counted.
The House of Commons holds 338 seats and a party needs to win 170 to hold a majority.
Results are coming in slower than usual, with some stations forced to limit occupancy due to Covid-19 restrictions. A delay in counting mail-in votes could further hold up results in tight races.

Canada has, for the fifth time now, extended its ban on direct commercial and private flights from India until at least September 21 amid concerns over the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus.
The ban was first imposed on April 22 due to fears in Canada over the devastating second wave of the pandemic in India.
Transport Canada said the decision on travel from India was based on the latest advice from the Public Health Agency. It said Canada will be working closely with the government of India and aviation operators to ensure appropriate procedures are put in place to enable a safe return of direct flights as soon as conditions permit.
The latest extension of the ban was announced even as entry for fully vaccinated US citizens and permanent residents to Canada was relaxed on Monday, despite America currently recording over 100,000 new daily coronavirus cases.

Leaders of Indigenous groups in Canada said on Thursday that investigators have found hundreds of unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school for Indigenous children. The tragic discovery follows last month's report of 215 bodies found at another school.
The bodies were discovered at the Marieval Indian Residential School, which operated from 1899 to 1997 where the Cowessess First Nation is now located.
A search with ground-penetrating radar resulted in 751 'hits,'' indicating that at least 600 bodies were buried in the area, said Chief Cadmus Delorme of the Cowessess. Delmore said that the graves were marked at one time, but that the Roman Catholic Church that operated the school had removed the markers.
&ldquo;The Pope needs to apologise for what happened. an apology is one stage in the way of a healing journey,&rdquo; he said.

A man driving a truck ran over and killed four members of a Muslim Canadian family in Ontario on Sunday evening. Police said that the attack was pre-meditated and motivated by hate towards Muslims.
The 20-year-old attacker fled the scene and was later arrested, police said.
"There is evidence that this was a planned, premeditated act, motivated by hate. It is believed that these victims were targeted because they were Muslim," the Ontario police said.
The victims include a 74-year-old woman, a 46-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl -- together representing three generations of the same family. The family immigrated from Pakistan about 14 years ago, according to media reports. 
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Twitter that he was "horrified" by the news, adding that "Islamophobia has no place in any of our communities. This hate is insidious and despicable - and it must stop."

Canada has extended the ban on direct flights from India and Pakistan by one more month until June 21 in a bid to arrest the spread of new Covid variants.
The ban on flights from India and Pakistan was extended as the previous 30-day ban, first imposed on April 22, was set to expire on Saturday.
Cargo flights, however, will be permitted in order to maintain shipments of essential supplies, such as vaccines and personal protective equipment, the govt said on Friday.
As the ban applies to direct flights from both countries, passengers can still fly to Canada from India or Pakistan by arriving via a third country. They will need to produce a negative result on a Covid-19 test taken at their last point of departure before being allowed to enter Canada
