If your licence is not approved, you will be informed by phone and if necessary by letter, stating the reasons your licence was not approved. Your licence fee and bond will be refunded.
Requirements for renewals:
- Completed application form signed by the Director(s), Officer(s), Owner(s) of the talent agency;

When you receive your licence:
- Please note the expiry date, as the Employment Standards Branch does not send out renewal notices. Talent agency licences must be renewed annually.
- Please note the licence number. A talent agency must display its licence number on any contract or written agreement made with an actor, performer, extra or technical creative film person, and on any advertisement or other public document.
