After arriving in Vancouver, Joy found work on shows such as First Wave (2000), The Outer Limits (2001), The Chris Isaak Show (2002), and The Twilight Zone (2002). In 2003, she landed the lead role of Judy Surgick in the short-lived CBC TV sitcom An American in Canada (2003–04)[2] which was a 2003 Gemini Award nominee for Best Ensemble Performance Comedy Series/Program.[5] In 2005 she appeared in the feature film Desolation Sound.[2]
