Interested candidates should shoot a self-tape and submit it before March 15 at 5 p.m., according to the casting call.

The ad shoot takes place in the GTA in late March, and if you've been selected you can make up to $12,000 — depending on where the ad campaign runs.

The casting call says actresses need to be able to tell a story with their eyes and be able to express allergy frustrations to a "moment of relief" — so grab a mirror and start practicing!
