Re: Traveling to Canada
by Eric Temple on Apr 12, 2008 at 10:02:34 pm

Ok... I'm a US producer/cameraman and have shot in Canada twice lately. The first time I tried to do everything by the book. Applied for permits at the Canadian embassy, etc. Got the runaround every time and was unable to penetrate the bureaucracy in time for the shoot. I was then advised by a canadian company to just tell the border guards that we were a news crew. There's a huge exception in the Canadian work laws that allows news crews to travel freely.
It worked like a charm.

Second time I decided to just rent gear in Ottawa and hire a local sound guy and grip. That worked great too. I didn't have to sweat the border crossing.
