In 2007, she filmed the movie Case 39 opposite Renée Zellweger; however, because of a lengthy post-production, it was not released until 2010.[3]
She played Bree Tanner in the third film of the Twilight series, Eclipse. She stated: "Usually I read the script before I take a role, but I haven't read this one," she explained. "It's Twilight, of course I'm going to take it."[4]

In 2015, she starred in the short film The Goodbye Girl[14] and the horror film The Haunting of Briar House,[15] which premiered at the Film4 Frightfest Film Festival on October 24.[16]
Since June 2015, Ferland has starred as Five in the SyFy series Dark Matter,[17] based on the comic book series of the same name. In June 2016 she appeared in the Lifetime television movie Revenge Porn,[18][19] and is set to appear in the short film Women Seen directed by Amanda Tapping[20][21] and the comedy sequel Big Fat Liar 2.[22]
