Estimates based on data collected from CAVCO.
Note:
Some totals may not sum due to rounding. Statistics published by provincial funding agencies may differ from those in Profile 2023. Due to the low number of projects (particularly theatrical feature film projects) in certain provinces and territories, production volume statistics are grouped by region to avoid disclosure of budgets for individual projects. See Notes on methodology for additional information. Historical figures for certain provinces/territories have been revised due to the recoding of some productions to different fiscal years (in which principal photography started) and/or to different provinces/territories.
* Based on province or territory where lead producer is based.
** Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
