Why Canadian Game Studios Choose Big0
Understanding Canada's Gaming Ecosystem
Montreal: Global Gaming Capital Montreal is the world's 4th largest gaming hub with 15,000+ gaming professionals. Home to Ubisoft's largest studio globally (4,000+ employees), EA Montreal, Warner Bros. Games Montreal, Behaviour Interactive, and 200+ indie studios. We leverage Montreal's exceptional talent pool in AAA development, game engines (Ubisoft's proprietary engines), and AI for games (Mila Institute collaboration).
The city's bilingual capability, lower cost of living (vs Toronto/Vancouver), and aggressive Quebec tax credits make Montreal ideal for both AAA production and indie development. Our Montreal-based teams understand the unique culture, collaborative ecosystem, and francophone gaming market.
Vancouver: Western Gaming Hub Vancouver and Lower Mainland host EA Vancouver (FIFA, Battlefield), Kabam, Roadhouse Interactive, and growing indie scene. BC's strength in visual effects (Sony Imageworks, Digital Domain, ILM) creates synergy for high-fidelity game graphics and cinematics.
We provide Vancouver studios access to VFX talent, Asian market expertise (large Asian diaspora), and connection to clean tech for sustainable gaming infrastructure. BC's film/VFX tax credits complement gaming incentives.
Toronto: Emerging Gaming Center Toronto gaming includes Ubisoft Toronto, Rockstar North, WB Games Toronto, and rapidly growing indie scene. Toronto's fintech and tech expertise enables innovative game monetization, blockchain gaming, and metaverse development.
We help Toronto studios leverage the city's diverse tech talent, proximity to US market, and connection to Canadian broadcasting/media companies (Rogers, Bell, CBC) for gaming content creation.
Canadian Gaming Tax Credits & Incentives
Ontario Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit (OIDMTC) Ontario game developers receive 35% refundable tax credit on eligible Ontario labor expenditure (40% for smaller studios). We help studios maximize OIDMTC claims through proper expense categorization, labor documentation, and Ontario content requirements. Combined with federal SR&ED (35-55% depending on CCPC status), total tax assistance can reach 60-70% of development costs.
Our OIDMTC expertise includes: eligible activity determination (game design, programming, art, audio), Ontario content and control requirements, documentation for audit defense, and coordination with federal SR&ED claims to avoid double-dipping while maximizing total credits.
Quebec Multimedia Tax Credit Quebec offers North America's most generous gaming incentives: 37.5% refundable tax credit on Quebec labor (salaries and contractor costs). For game companies, this can combine with general R&D credits and federal SR&ED for total assistance exceeding 70%.
We navigate Quebec's specific requirements including French language obligations (Charter of the French Language), Quebec content certification, and coordination with Investissement Québec. Our bilingual team prepares French-language documentation and liaises with Revenu Québec.
British Columbia Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit (BCIDMTC) BC provides 17.5% refundable tax credit on BC labor expenditure for eligible digital media products (games, VR/AR, interactive experiences). Combined with BC film tax credits (for cinematics/cutscenes), studios can access significant incentives.
We help BC studios demonstrate BC control, meet eligible media product criteria, and structure projects to qualify for both BCIDMTC and film incentives where applicable (especially for story-driven games with significant cinematics).
Federal SR&ED for Game Development Game development qualifies for SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) tax credits when involving technological uncertainty and systematic experimentation. Eligible areas include: new game engine development, AI/procedural generation innovation, novel rendering techniques, physics simulation advancement, and experimental gameplay mechanics.
We document SR&ED eligible activities, maintain technical narratives, track experiments and iterations, and prepare claims for CRA review. For CCPCs (Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations), SR&ED provides 35% federal credit plus provincial credits, totaling 50-55% assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Canadian game studios access multiple tax credits creating 50-75% cost reduction: 1) Provincial credits - Quebec 37.5%, Ontario 35-40%, BC 17.5% on eligible labor, 2) Federal SR&ED - 35% for CCPCs (Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations), 15% for others on eligible R&D, 3) Combined benefit - credits stack (with coordination to avoid double-dipping) reaching 60-75% total assistance. Example: Montreal studio with CAD 2M budget receives CAD 750K Quebec credit + CAD 700K SR&ED = CAD 1.45M total, reducing net cost to CAD 550K (72.5% reduction). Credits are refundable (receive cash even if no taxes owed), providing critical cash flow for studios. We maximize credits through proper documentation, eligible expense categorization, and coordination between programs. This makes Canadian development globally cost-competitive while using local AAA-quality talent.
Montreal's gaming dominance stems from: 1) Critical mass - 15,000+ gaming professionals, 200+ studios, self-sustaining talent ecosystem, 2) Anchor studios - Ubisoft's largest studio globally (4,000 employees), EA Montreal, WB Games, Behaviour Interactive provide training ground and talent pool, 3) Tax incentives - 37.5% Quebec credit + SR&ED = 65-70% cost reduction, most generous in North America, 4) Educational infrastructure - world-class game development programs (Concordia, Université de Montréal, NAD-UQAC), continuous talent pipeline, 5) Bilingual advantage - English/French capability enables both North American and European markets, unique cultural perspective, 6) Cost of living - lower than Toronto/Vancouver, making salaries more competitive, 7) Culture - collaborative ecosystem, jam events, shared knowledge, supportive provincial government. These factors create self-reinforcing cycle: studios locate in Montreal for talent, talent moves for studio opportunities, creating deepest gaming ecosystem outside California/Tokyo/London.
Yes, SR&ED expertise is core to our Canadian game development practice. Game development qualifies for SR&ED when involving technological uncertainty and systematic experimentation in areas like: 1) Novel game engines (new rendering techniques, advanced physics, innovative networking), 2) AI advancement (emergent behavior, machine learning NPCs, procedural generation beyond existing algorithms), 3) Graphics innovation (novel rendering approaches, real-time ray tracing optimization, advanced shaders), 4) Gameplay innovation (experimental mechanics requiring technical experimentation). We document SR&ED activities through: technical narratives describing uncertainty and experiments, hypothesis-test-conclusion logs for development iterations, time tracking for eligible vs routine development, code commits and technical documentation demonstrating systematic investigation. Our documentation withstands CRA audit, demonstrating game development as legitimate R&D, not just product development. We coordinate SR&ED with provincial credits (OIDMTC, Quebec Multimedia) to maximize total credits while avoiding disallowed overlap.
Bilingual game development includes multiple dimensions: 1) Text localization - Quebec French translation (not European French) by native speakers, cultural adaptation of references and humor, French text length accommodation (20-30% longer than English), 2) Voiceover - Quebec French voice actors with appropriate accents, lip sync for French phonemes, cultural direction for performance, 3) UI adaptation - French button text, menu structures, tutorial content, text scaling for language differences, 4) Marketing - bilingual app store presence (titles, descriptions, screenshots with French text), French social media and community management, Quebec media outreach, 5) Compliance - Quebec Régie du cinéma rating, Charter of French Language requirements for Quebec distribution, bilingual customer support. We implement language switching in-game, maintain parallel English/French development, and launch simultaneously in both languages for Canadian market. Quebec gamers expect authentic Quebec French, not translations - our Montreal teams ensure cultural and linguistic authenticity.
Each Canadian gaming hub has distinct characteristics: Montreal - Strengths: Largest talent pool (15,000 professionals), highest tax credits (65-70% reduction), AAA expertise, AI/ML integration (Mila), bilingual capability. Culture: Collaborative, less corporate, francophone influence, work-life balance emphasis. Best for: AAA production, AI-driven games, cost-sensitive projects, Quebec/European markets. Vancouver - Strengths: VFX industry synergy (photorealistic graphics), Asia-Pacific connections, quality of life attracts talent, mobile gaming expertise. Culture: West coast lifestyle focus, international/diverse, entrepreneurial. Best for: High-fidelity graphics, mobile F2P, Asian market games, VR/AR. Tax credits lower (17.5%) but talent quality high. Toronto - Strengths: Fintech integration (innovative monetization), broadcasting partnerships, emerging ecosystem, multicultural. Culture: Fast-paced, business-focused, innovative business models. Best for: Blockchain/NFT games, metaverse, mobile, game-adjacent media. Tax credits strong (35-40%) but cost of living highest. We help studios choose optimal location based on game type, budget, talent needs, and market focus.
Indie studios face unique challenges accessing tax credits and funding, which we address through: 1) Tax credit qualification - documenting Canadian content/control, meeting provincial requirements (Ontario content, Quebec certification), preparing refundable credit claims even without tax liability, 2) Cash flow management - bridging credit wait times (12-18 months for refund) through financing arrangements, structuring development budgets around credit cash flow, 3) Government funding - Canada Media Fund (CMF) applications for experimental games, provincial media funds, regional development programs (ACOA for Atlantic, FedNor for Northern Ontario), 4) Publisher relationships - leveraging credits in publisher negotiations (lower development costs enable better terms), structuring development agreements to preserve credit eligibility, 5) SR&ED for innovation - documenting experimental gameplay, novel technology, innovative mechanics for R&D credits, 6) Administration - handling paperwork, audit defense, compliance for studios lacking finance staff. For indie studios, tax credits can mean difference between viability and failure - CAD 200K development budget with 60% credits = CAD 80K net cost, making projects feasible.
Canada offers compelling advantages for game development: vs United States - Tax credits: 50-75% cost reduction vs minimal US state incentives, Healthcare: Universal healthcare reduces employee benefits costs 15-20%, Talent: Exceptional game development education programs, stable immigration (less restrictive than US H-1B), Creative talent: Strong arts culture, government support for creative industries. Net result: Canadian development costs 30-50% less than US with equivalent quality. vs Offshore (Asia, Eastern Europe) - Time zones: Overlapping work hours with North American publishers/clients, Language: Native English (and French) speakers, no communication barriers, Cultural alignment: Understanding North American market preferences, gaming culture, Quality: AAA-trained talent from Ubisoft, EA, comparable to Western standards, IP protection: Strong Canadian IP law and enforcement, Stability: Political stability, consistent legal framework.
