Programme d'aide à l'écriture de scénarios

In order to reflect the different needs of both language markets, please note that Telefilm Canada has adopted an asymmetrical approach for both its Aide à l'écriture de scénarios and Writer's First programs.

For English-language screenwriting projects, please consult the Writer's First program.

Please see below three key administrative points to follow when preparing your application to Telefilm Canada:
i) 7 copies of creative materials are required; for English-language, 8 copies are required;
ii) All applications must use 1.5 line spacing, with text in 12-point font. Incorrectly formatted applications will be returned;
iii) It is strongly urged to avoid sending any materials in a bound format (e.g. stapled, coil binding etc.).

*Each applicant will receive his/her decision letter 8-12 weeks after the submission deadline. Please note, the mailing out of decision letters is staggered, with French-language decision letters going out earlier than the English-language decision letters. This is due to the fact that fewer applications in French are received, which allows the processing time to be shorter.
