How it works
How do agencies in Canada recruit?
- Applications are online: Dulcedo, Montage, Folio, Sutherland, Spot 6 and Want use forms on their own sites, and Richard’s sees people by appointment only. Richard’s Models — get discovered ↗
- No professional photos: Richard’s and Lizbell ask for natural, unfiltered snapshots without make-up. Lizbell Agency — submissions ↗
- Most contact you only if interested: Spot 6 sends no confirmation email and asks applicants not to call or email about their status. Spot 6 Management — Spot Me ↗
- Verify any scout: Richard’s emails come only from @richardsmodels.com, Folio’s agents use name@foliomanagement.com addresses, and Sutherland and Spot 6 ask you to call the agency first. Richard’s Models — cyber warning ↗
- We could not verify an official Canadian or provincial rule specific to modelling-agency fees; the federal guidance below covers job fees generally.
Fees, contracts and safeguarding
What are the rules in Canada?
- The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre advises never to send deposits or pay fees for a job, and to verify a company through its official website and phone number. Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre — job scams ↗

FAQ
Modelling in Canada, answered
Can I apply to a Canadian agency from another province?
- Sutherland says it is based in Toronto but interested in talent from coast to coast. Lizbell accepts submissions from Canadian residents only.
Do Canadian agencies charge to apply?
- Spot 6 and Lizbell say they never require payment for scouting or submissions, Richard’s says anyone selling portfolio shoots in its name is fraudulent, and Folio warns not to respond to payment requests in its name.
What height do Canadian agencies ask for?
- Sutherland lists 5ft 7in–5ft 11in for women and 6ft–6ft 3in for men, and Richard’s sets minimums of 5ft 8in and 6ft. Dulcedo, Montage and Folio ask for your height without a stated minimum.
