National Commercial Agreement

The National Commercial Agreement (NCA) covers the engagement of performers in all commercial productions (including television, radio and digital) in Canada. The user-friendly NCA is a searchable agreement and the ACTRAonline Commercial cost estimator makes it easy to get an estimate of how much it would cost to hire professional ACTRA performers for your next commercial production. Please contact an ACTRA branch representative if you have any questions.

ACTRA and the Joint Broadcasting Committee of the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA) and the Institute of Communication Agencies (ICA) have agreed to extend the terms and conditions of the current NCA and the NCA L&R Addendum for a one-year period from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
