Prince Edward Island

32% Base Rate Up to 35% combined with federal
All-Spend Rebate Last updated: April 2026

Red sand beaches, rolling farmland, and the intimate scale of Canada's smallest province — charming and distinctive.

Prince Edward Island's Film Production Fund provides a 32% rebate on eligible PEI expenditures, with bonuses for series and PEI producers reaching up to 35%. The program had a term through March 31, 2024 with an evaluation scheduled — confirm current status with Innovation PEI before budgeting. No per-project cap and a low $25K minimum make it accessible for smaller productions.

Post-Production & VFX Not Standalone

Limited — PEI's rebate is primarily for productions with on-island activity. Confirm standalone post eligibility directly with Innovation PEI.

Minimum Spend

$25,000 minimum eligible PEI spend — one of the lowest thresholds in Canada.

VFX Rate

No separate VFX bonus. Post-production costs count toward the all-spend 32% base rate.

PEI's small scale means limited post-production infrastructure. The low minimum and straightforward application make it attractive for smaller productions. Important: confirm the fund's current status for 2025-26 with Innovation PEI, as it was under evaluation.
