Work Permits for Film and Entertainment
All non-Canadian cast and crew, other than producers, must attain a work permit before entering Canada to work on a project. In most cases, employers hiring foreign workers must get a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) from Service Canada in advance of applying for a work permit.
To assist employers, we have provided a Film and Entertainment Cover Sheet to be included with the LMO Application Form for each foreign worker. This will also assist Service Canada in expediting your application in a timely manner.
