- Brand payment is held in escrow before you film
A bilingual market that rewards the right voice
Canada is one of the few places where the same product often needs two versions of the same ad. A brand launching coast to coast may want one video in English and another in French for Quebec, and it would rather hire a native speaker than translate.
If you record comfortably in French, English or both, say so on your profile. Recording languages are a filter that brands use when they search the catalogue.
What Canadian brands and sellers ask for
Typical briefs reflect how people here shop, from winter gear to online grocery.
- Cold weather product tests for boots, coats, skincare and home heating
- Online grocery, meal kit and coffee clips filmed at the kitchen counter
- Outdoor and road trip gear shown in a real backyard or a cabin
- Campus and student budget videos for apps, laptops and subscriptions
- Reviews for small shops that sell to Canada and the United States from a single store
Selling to buyers on both sides of the border
Many brands that hire Canadian creators also sell in the US, and they like a creator who can sound local to both audiences. A clean video that avoids slang tied to one city travels further.
Your rates are set in US dollars for a video up to 30 seconds, up to 60 seconds, a set of five photos and raw footage. Payment is held in escrow before you film and released after approval through PayPal or Wise, or by bank transfer.
Getting your first brief from anywhere in Canada
You do not have to live in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. Brands care about a clear sample, steady light and a natural delivery. Smaller towns often give you a setting that big city creators cannot offer. Your income is yours to report under the rules that apply to you.
The basics, the same for every creator
Free to join
Your profile, your samples and your place in the catalog cost nothing. The marketplace fee is paid by the brand on top of your rate.
Your rates, in US dollars
You price a short video, a longer video, a photo set and raw footage yourself, and you can change the prices at any time. Brands see your rate before they invite you.
Paid after approval
The brand pays into escrow before you film. When the brand approves the video, the money is released to you through PayPal or Wise, or by bank transfer, to the details you save in your account.

The brand authorizes payment, which sits in escrow. You film and upload the video in the format the brief asks for.
-
5
Get paid after approval
Once the brand approves the video, the payment is released to you. You keep ownership of the video; the brand gets a licence to use it.
What you need to start
- A phone that films well in daylight, plus a quiet room for voice over
- Samples in the languages you want to be hired for, as links or files up to 12 MB
- A working email address for your four digit confirmation code
- PayPal, Wise or bank details for payouts after approval
Frequently asked questions
Can I offer French language videos?
Yes. Add French to your recording languages and include a sample in French, so brands that want Quebec audiences can find you.
Do I need to be a Canadian resident?
You can apply from almost any country, but marking Canada as your location helps brands that want a local look to find you.
Are prices shown in Canadian dollars?
Rates are set in US dollars. Brands see them on your profile, and you can change them whenever you like.
When does the money reach me?
The brand pays into escrow before you film. After the brand approves the video, the payout is released to you.
What happens to the rights to my video?
You keep ownership. The brand gets a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use the accepted video.
What is the minimum age?
You must be at least 18, and the samples must be your own work.
