Each year, Telefilm Canada coordinates the Pan-Canadian Selection Committee and the process to determine which Canadian film will be submitted for the International Film Award competition at the Academy Awards™. This committee will screen eligible films over the coming months and meet in the end of August to vote on which film will represent Canada in this prestigious competition. Please take note that once the film is selected, the submission to the Academy must be completed by October 3.

The extended deadline to submit is July 15, 2022.
