Preliminary recommendations

Final recommendations

Official Coproductions

This section lists the projects submitted in application for official coproduction status.

Telefilm Canada's International Coproduction Sector receives and evaluates applications for certification of projects and recommends to the government either approval or denial of official coproduction status. This process involves two steps, as follows.

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS


The preliminary recommendation is the first step in the process of certification as an official coproduction. Coproductions that obtain a positive preliminary recommendation are projects that have been submitted prior to shooting and, further to evaluation by Telefilm's International Coproduction Sector, have complied with the governing bilateral agreements and coproduction guidelines.

FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS


The final recommendation is the second step in the certification process and takes place as soon as the production is completed or no later than 19 months following the production year. In this step, projects having obtained a positive preliminary recommendation from Telefilm are evaluated and a recommendation to either approve or deny final certification as an official coproduction is made. Projects can then be certified as official coproductions by the Department of Canadian Heritage, through the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO), and recognized as Canadian productions.
