You have to be a Canadian to audition for Degrassi because they do all their filming there it says it on the website www.degrassi.com or go to Google and look up "Degrassi auditions" They also get funds from their government, which they wouldn't qualify for unless the actors were all Canadian.

Where can I find auditions for degrassi the next generation?

Well, first of all, you must be a legal resident of Canada. And second, when theyre auditioning, they'll let you know. Trust me. EDIT: They're actually holding auditions all season, when they feel the need for new actors. But they do only accept Canadian applicants. Foreigners won't even be forwarded to the casting director. Buut, if you are a Canadian citizen and currently live in Canada, they film during the summer months so that the kids can get the proper schooling. Degrassi is sponsored by the Canadian government, so they will want the kids to get good schooling in. "Can I audition for the show? Auditions for Degrassi are held throughout the season as needed, however we're always looking for new talent! If you are interested in auditioning for Degrassi as either an actor or an extra, you must be between the ages of 12 and 18, live in the Toronto area and be a Canadian citizen*. If you meet all the requirements, you can send a photo and resume detailing your acting experience to: Degrassi Casting Epitome Pictures 220 Bartley Drive Toronto, ON M4A 1G1 '''(no email or faxes please)''' Please be sure to include your name, age, address, telephone number/email address and a permission note from your parents. We will keep your information on file. You will only be contacted if the casting director wishes to see you---which means you might not hear back from us right away. *Resumes and photos from non-Canadian citizens will not be forwarded to the casting department. Why do I have to be Canadian/live in the Toronto area to be on the show? Degrassi is made possible through the assistance of several Government funding agencies, which require television productions to use Canadian cast and crews. In addition, Degrassi and other television shows receive federal and provincial tax credits based on where they work. Thus, to ensure our eligibility for these funds and the Canadian and Ontario tax credits, Degrassi only employs Canadian citizens who are residents of Ontario." - http://degrassithenextgeneration.degrassi.ca/faq.php
