Canadian status of audiovisual works of establishment, status

Canadian status of audiovisual work refers to whether or not the audiovisual work has been certified as a Canadian production. Certification based on whether or not the production meets the criteria for a Canadian production set out by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

Establishment refers to the level in the statistical hierarchy below the company in the Business Register statistical hierarchy, and at which the accounting data required to measure production are available (principal inputs, revenues, salaries and wages). The establishment is defined as the most homogeneous unit of production for which the business maintains accounting records.

The data for this variable are reported using the following classifications and/or lists:
