I don't think those apply to Canada.

This question has been beaten to death in CANADA, all over the place they use 450-470 typically in simplex, for a SET RADIO, many times you will see up close someone carrying two radios, one long range (repeater) set/staging - to storeage yard of equipment or main office , those are rented throught the usual suspects , whomever is local,
In Vancouver we have a number of permanent film studios/sets , some have set up their own system that rents to the film crew. Very easy to scan/search the band and find.
I would first eyeball the radio and see wether VHF / or UHF . Go from there.

YMMV as to using/renting a repeater, as most do rely [my USA experience] on a Cellphone if they need to communicate outside of the SET/Base Camp - but spot on for Rented, simplex etc - and usually the simple Search 450-470 finds em'

It would be nice if the original poster would post any of their findings.
Some production companies just rent from a local repeater service or rent simplex radios. I got licenses for a production company that I'm associated with in Alaska. Itinerant DMR radios. License covers the entire country except within a few miles of the Canadian border. May be very difficult to track down. There are motion picture VHF channels available, but using itinerant frequencies means that you don't have to pay a frequency coordinator.
