If you are a dual member who resides in Canada and is engaged on a Canadian production, you may work on an ACTRA contract as per usual.
If you are a dual member whose primary residence is outside of Canada, and you are offered work in Canada, please contact contact SAG-AFTRA before accepting any booking.
If you are a production who wants to engage a SAG-AFTRA member, including dual members who reside outside of Canada, please contact SAG-AFTRA here.
Performers under an existing contract in Canada have a legal obligation to work and will not be asked by SAG-AFTRA to withhold services.
Please like and share ACTRA National’s social media posts in support of our sibling union and watch for updates on upcoming solidarity actions. Read ACTRA’s solidarity statement here.
While ACTRA stands in full solidarity with our sibling union SAG-AFTRA, the Independent Production Agreement that governs our film and television jurisdiction in all provinces except British Columbia does not expire until 2024, and UBCP/ACTRA recently voted to extend the British Columbia Master Production Agreement (BCMPA) until March 31, 2025. Therefore, ACTRA is not in a legal strike position. ACTRA continues to support SAG-AFTRA in every way possible.
