Now that film and television production is opening up across Canada, how is talent getting across the border? Pre-pandemic, cast and crew from the US could cross the border into Canada for production with ease (generally), but as the case numbers between our countries continue to vary drastically, enhanced control measures are being enforced that affect work permits and include quarantine plans.

In this episode of the Entertainment & Media Law Signal podcast, Bob Tarantino and Caitlin Choi ask Helen Park about immigration issues around film and television production taking place in Canada. While the details change on a daily basis, Helen shares her insight on what she has seen so far and offers guidance to producers on what steps they should take when planning to get someone across the border.
