Canadian Program Certification

New information centre for Canadian program certification applications

The CRTC is providing a new resource for independent producers seeking information on Canadian program certification applications. Producers can now communicate directly with Cindy Ventura, Manager, Broadcasting Process and External Liaison, who will be able to answer all questions concerning the use and submission of forms and the status of applications. Contact Cindy by telephone at 819-953-4405 or by e-mail at cindy.ventura@crtc.gc.ca.

For all other questions regarding Canadian program certification, contact Daniel Binette, Manager, Canadian Program Certification, at 819-997-4652 or daniel.binette@crtc.gc.ca.

Note that all producers will very soon have to file applications electronically using Epass. To be continued…

The Canadian Program Certification Office allows Canadian program producers to obtain Canadian certification for television productions that make predominant use of Canadian crews and talents. See the eligibility criteria below.

The CRTC establishes policies and regulations to ensure that Canadian productions from creators enjoy a minimum level of exhibition in Canada through Canadian content quotas.

From 1960 to 1998, the CRTC has received over 17,000 applications to certify productions for broadcasters, specialty services or pay services. The total value of productions has increased from $260 million in 1993 to about $800 million in 1998.
