The Alberta government removed a funding cap that limited film productions to a max $10-million tax credit claim. It was a game-changer for Calgary and the region, which saw production spending top out at $520 million in the Calgary region alone in the past year. Over 123 projects and more than 500 filming permits were filed with the help of Calgary Economic Development.
Luke Azevedo, the film commissioner, said that what Minister Schweitzer did with the change in the incentives made its mark globally and the impact was felt immediately. High-profile productions like Fraggle Rock and HBO’s The Last of Us are on the ticket for 2022. Contact Inmigración Canadiense for information about the visa application process.
