These are the most popular filming locations in all of Canada

Canada has become a major player in the game of megaphones, directors chairs, and movie sets, and if you ask us, it’s about freaking time. From coast to coast we have some incredibly talented writers and actors, impressive studios, and some of the most beautiful backdrops a production company could ask for. Since really being recognized, our home turf has had the honour of appearing in amazing TV shows and motion pictures, but which destinations are prevalent? Well, as per usual, IMDB has all of the answers, but we can’t just thank them.

In fact, a personal finance company called NetCredit did all the heavy lifting. Why? We honestly don’t know, but we’re pretty happy they did.

Using data collected between January 1st, 1900 through to December 31, 2020, NetCredit found that the most popular filming location in Canada was (no surprise) Niagara Falls with movie 142 credits to its name including Bruce Almighty and Pirates of The Caribbean: At World’s End.
