Exhibit 31.1

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Christopher Paterson, President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary,
Treasurer and Director of Cantop Ventures, Inc., certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of Cantop Ventures, Inc.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
     were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by quarterly
     report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
     material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
     flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
     report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d - 15(e)) and internal control over
     financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
     15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

        a)      designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
                disclosure control and procedures to be designed under our
                supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
                registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
                known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
                the period in which this report is being prepared;
        b)      designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
                caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
                designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
                regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
                preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
                accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
        c)      evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
                report based on such evaluation;
        d)      disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
                control over financial reporting that occurred during the
                registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth
                fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
                materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
                reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent valuation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board
     of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

        a)      all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
                which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
                ability to record, process summarize and report financial
                information; and
        b)      any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
                other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
                internal control over financial reporting.
