About Canadian Federation of Musicians
The Canadian Federation of Musicians [CFM] (formerly referred to as AFM Canada) is the leading professional organization of its kind available to Canadian musicians.
As a complementary, yet independent, office of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (AFM). CFM is managed by AFM’s Vice President from Canada (VPC) and offers a comparative level of service that is uniquely focused on matters of concern to the Canadian membership.
As the distinctly Canadian division of AFM we negotiate fair agreements for Canadian members, we diligently work to protect ownership of recorded music, secure benefits such as health care and pension for our membership, and actively lobby legislators on Copyright reform and other matters of interest to professional musicians living and working in Canada.
Everyday, the Canadian Federation of Musicians helps thousands of musicians, who like you, need assistance with any number of issues related to the recording and performing of their craft. With specialized services ranging from immigration, media recordings, symphonic and theatrical matters, touring, freelance musicians and membership services, contract negotiations and administration, royalty streams…and more…CFM is here to help its membership take best advantage of all career opportunities and optimize the level of their professional working environment.
Whatever your issue, CFM is committed to raising industry standards and placing the professional musician in the foreground of the Canadian cultural landscape, and is here for its members to minimize potential threats and maximize opportunities.
