Question
hi there, I really want to make it in the porn industry I love sex and money, the only problem is I'm from Toronto Canada and with all the regulations of employment I was hoping there was some accredited company in Toronto I could use as a platform to reach vivid?

Answer
I assume from your post that you're looking to get in as talent in the industry?  If so, you should evaluate and talk to agencies to find which ones would be willing to work with you (and more importantly, which ones you like and trust - not always an easy process).  Check out thefloatingworld.com to see a list of dozens of agencies that work in this biz.  Of course, be careful not to sign anything until you COMPLETELY understand all of the terms of a contract.

If you're looking to start your own business (featuring you), you may want to check out rayscorner.com on good info on how to get started.
