Programs

Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC) Production Funding

Due to high demand for the ANGLOPHONE MINORITY PROGRAM and FRANCOPHONE MINORITY, the CMF will no longer be accepting applications for these programs.

The CMF’s mandate includes encouraging production funding to projects across all of Canada by both majority and minority official-language sectors. The CMF recognizes the unique circumstances of producers in these distinct communities and supports their growth.

The official language minority community production funding ensures that Canadians have access to French-language content reflecting francophone culture outside the province of Quebec under the Francophone Minority Program and English-language content reflecting anglophone culture in the province of Quebec under the Anglophone Minority Incentive.
