The film was selected as the Canadian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated.
The film won the award for Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto festival. It also won Best Screenplay from the 18th Quebec Cinema Awards (formerly known as the Prix Jutra). At the 2014 Haifa International Film Festival, Felix and Meira won the Tobias Szpancer Award for Best Film (Between Judaism and Israelism Competition). At the 2014 Whistler Film Festival, it swept all four Borsos Awards (conferred by a jury for Canadian feature films in competition).
