Film Locations Incentive

Canada’s Yukon is known as a film-friendly region, and we’re willing to back up that claim with financial support as we invite your production to take advantage of the Yukon’s spectacular locations.

The Film Location Incentive encourages production companies from outside Yukon to film in Yukon and hire and train Yukoners. Please note – this program is not a tax credit it is a rebate. Funding is usually released within 8 weeks of the completion of filming in Yukon and submission of required reporting

In order to apply for this funding, production companies are required to

register with Yukon Corporate Affairs.
