A Quebec creator sells something few people elsewhere can sell: two native languages, in a country where a national brand needs both. That is an export advantage, provided you present it as one.
The argument that opens Toronto
A Toronto brand selling into Quebec has to produce a French version. It can subcontract that to a translation agency, or hire someone who films both versions the same day with the same person on camera. The second option costs less and produces a more consistent result. That is exactly your offer.
Invoicing another province
Nothing stops you invoicing an Ontario or Alberta client from Quebec, but the tax rules are not the same as for a local client. This is the kind of point to validate once with an accountant and then apply without thinking about it again.
American clients
Proximity, the time zone and the exchange rate make a Canadian creator attractive to a United States brand. Set the price in US dollars, say clearly which currency the figure is in, and agree in writing who absorbs the transfer fees.
What belongs on your profile
Both languages, explicitly, with the real level: native Quebec French, neutralised French on request, Canadian English. A client rarely searches for a bilingual creator by typing bilingual; they look for someone who can deliver their campaign in both versions, and they read it in the first line or not at all.
Do not discount because you are far away
A client in Toronto or New York compares with their local prices, not with the ones in your neighbourhood. Charge what the work is worth in the client's market, factoring in what they save by not paying two suppliers for two languages.
