Filming in Québec City or Montréal: permits and public-space occupancy
Open the filming file and distinguish city, borough and site-manager requirements.
Municipal authorization does not cover a site managed by another organization.
Identify the site manager
In Québec City, start with the film office and identify the locations. Separately check land outside municipal jurisdiction and proposed occupancy or traffic restrictions. [1]
Prepare the Québec City file
The file includes items such as the script, locations, schedule and insurance. Check published minimum lead times and submit a complete file; production urgency does not guarantee expedited approval. [1]
Select the Montréal borough
In Montréal, use the process for the filming borough and open the required film-office file. Documents and timelines are not uniform across all boroughs. [2]
Align the authorizations
Describe vehicles, parking and public-space occupancy. Before filming, check that locations, dates and traffic arrangements match the issued authorizations. [2]
