Your cheque may not be in the mail

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) will be in a legal position to begin strike activity on November 15 at 12:01 a.m. ET, unless agreements are reached before then.

Canada Post has served the Union with a 72- hour notice of lockout. This notice takes effect as of November 15, 2024, at 8:00 am (EST). 

As a result of the uncertainty, IPA productions have been advised to make alternate arrangements for delivery of performer cheques until the situation becomes stable and commercial cheques will be held for pick-up at the ACTRA Toronto offices at 625 Church Street.

IPA

If you are expecting a cheque from an IPA production, check with the production first to see what alternate arrangements they may have made for pick-up/delivery.

Commercial Cheques

As per the NCA, Section 26, Remittance of Payments, session payments are due 15 business days from date of production and Use payments are due 20 working days from first air date. Please complete the following form to find out if your cheque is available for pickup. An ACTRA Toronto commercial examiner will follow up with additional information. If you have authorized your agent to pick up your cheques, please check with them before calling or visiting the ACTRA office to enquire about NCA cheques.

Please watch your inbox and this page for further updates as they become available.
