Travel & Logistics Services

Here is how the work lines up. Travel logistics across Canada means lining up a country that spans six time zones, two official languages, and weather patterns that swing forty degrees between coast and interior in a single shooting week. Our travel team builds itineraries around the four primary gateways. YVR Vancouver Global, YYZ Toronto Pearson, YUL Montréal-Trudeau, and YYC Calgary — feeding regional hubs at YOW Ottawa, YHZ Halifax Stanfield, YWG Winnipeg Richardson, YYT St. John's, and the northern triad of YZF Yellowknife, YFB Iqaluit, and YXY Whitehorse.

Here is the breakdown. We hold relationships with Air Canada, WestJet, Porter Airlines, and Air North for transcontinental and regional connections, plus Canadian North and Air Inuit for Nunavut and Nunavik charters and First Air for High Arctic supply runs. Inbound crew clearing CBSA at YVR or YYZ get pre-prepared TRP and USMCA work-permit packets at the gate. ATA carnet kit moves through cargo with broker liaison so camera trucks roll the same day. Production passports, biometric appointments, and electronic travel sign-off are tracked alongside the call sheet so forms never blocks a flight.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our ground operation covers Trans-Canada Highway logistics from Vancouver through the Coquihalla and Rogers Pass to Calgary, the Banff-Jasper Icefields Parkway corridor with winter chain-up advisories, the 401 corridor from Windsor through Toronto to Montreal, and the Confederation Bridge route to PEI. We set up convoy permits with provincial transport ministries, book production-friendly hotels and apartment-stays in Vancouver's Gastown and Yaletown, Toronto's King West and Liberty Village, Montreal's Vieux-Port and Plateau, and remote lodges in Banff, Tofino, Churchill (polar bear season), and Yellowknife (aurora season).

Here is how the picture comes together. Studio shuttles run between Vancouver Film Studios, Bridge, and Mammoth in Burnaby. Cinespace Brampton and Pinewood Toronto. MELS and MELS Cité du cinéma in Montreal. Our team handles per-diem disbursement in CAD with Quebec-French invoicing where needed, manages 24/7 emergency rebooking when Pacific atmospheric rivers ground YVR or a polar vortex shuts YWG, and lines up ground transport with bilingual EN/FR drivers in Quebec. Insurance certificates, IATSE 12-hour rest compliance, and ACTRA travel-day rates feed directly into the schedule so logistics never compromise crew welfare or union obligations.
