Film permits
All projects, regardless of size or the property class where you are filming, must complete a Production Information Sheet. This form allows our staff to ensure the appropriate parties are aware of your project and there are no conflicts with upcoming festivals, events or roadwork. If your project will affect city streets, parking or other municipal assets, you will need to apply for a film permit before you can start your film production in Cambridge. Apply for your permit at least 20 business days before you plan to start filming. If your project involves a road closure or hazardous activities, such as gunfire, vehicle stunts or extreme special effects, a longer approval period may be necessary.Have shorter filming timeline? Contact our office to discuss your proposal and we'll do our best to accommodate your project.The City of Cambridge Economic Development Division helps you throughout the application process. You need to have a project outline available for review, including proposed number of filming days, potential road closure requests, parking needs, and a project timeline.View our Production Companies' Checklist to learn more.
Filming Incentives
Cambridge is located just outside the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) zone. Productions shooting here may qualify for an additional 10% Regional Bonus on top of other available credits. This means that a producer could get up to a 45% labour-only tax credit when using the Ontario Film & Television Tax Credit (OFTTC) while filming in Cambridge. The Ontario Production Services Tax Credit (OPSTC) and Ontario Computer Animation & Special Effects (OCASE) can both by utilized for filming in Brantford. However, a producer must select either the OPSTC or the OFTTC - not both. The OCASE can be used in conjunction with either the OFTTC or OPSTC.
