电视和电影工作者如何在加拿大工作？如果电视和电影制作人员符合其所参与制作的必要人员资格，则他们可以从国外来加拿大工作。 How can TV and Film workers work in Canada? TV and Film production workers can come from abroad to work in Canada if they qualify as essential personnel for the production that they are involved in.

加拿大曾制作过一些世界上最受欢迎的电影和电视节目。 Canada has played host to productions for some of the world’s all-time most popular movies and TV shows.

多年来，1997 年的《泰坦尼克号》（新斯科舍省）、2005 年的《断背山》（阿尔伯塔省）和 2008 年的《暮光之城》（不列颠哥伦比亚省）的部分场景在这个国家的不同地区拍摄。最重要的是，在电视界，加拿大一直是《闪电侠》（温哥华）和法律剧《金装律师》（多伦多）等热门节目的制作地——后者由多伦多本地人帕特里克·J·亚当斯主演。 Parts of 1997’s Titanic (Nova Scotia), 2005’s Brokeback Mountain (Alberta) and 2008’s Twilight (British Columbia) were filmed across different parts of this country over the years. On top of that, in the world of television, Canada has been a production location for such popular shows as The Flash (Vancouver) and legal drama Suits (Toronto)— the latter of which starred Toronto’s own Patrick J. Adams.

总的来说，加拿大在电视和电影业的历史上占有重要地位，这也是为什么加拿大拥有专门针对电视和电影工作者的工作许可类别很重要的部分原因。拥有此工作许可类别还使加拿大能够通过制作这些作品来吸引投资，并为全国各地的加拿大人创造就业机会。 Wholly, Canada has a prolific place in the history of the television and film industry, which is part of why it is important that Canada has a work permit category specific to TV and film workers.

电视和电影制作工作许可证类别使来自世界各地的制作团队能够及时将必要的工作人员和人员带到这个国家。 The TV and Film Production Work Permit category enables production teams from around the world to bring essential staff and personnel to this country in a timely fashion.
