The city's streets and landmarks are seen in a variety of films, mimicking the scenes of American cities such as [[Chicago]] and [[New York City|New York]]. The city provides diverse settings and neighbourhoods to shoot films, with production facilitated by Toronto's Film and Television Office. Toronto's film industry has extended beyond the [[Greater Toronto Area#Toronto CMA|Toronto CMA]] into adjoining cities such as [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] and [[Oshawa]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-film-tv-production-levels-record-high-1.6788133 |title=Ontario reaches record high levels of film, TV production in 2022 |website=CBC.ca |access-date=December 29, 2023 |archive-date=December 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231230031747/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-film-tv-production-levels-record-high-1.6788133 |url-status=live }}</ref>
