Start with the work. Then explore the support.
01Train our people.
Workforce & training grants
Developing your team’s skills? Training support, including the Ontario Job Grant and Quebec’s MFOR measure, may be relevant. Employer eligibility, the provider and the timing of the training all matter.
Who needs training, what they need to learn and when you intend to begin.
02Develop something new.
SR&ED & innovation support
Working through technical challenges in a product or process? Specialist partner firms can assess potential SR&ED claims and the evidence required. Other innovation programs may also warrant a review.
The technical work, the challenges encountered and the records you have kept.
03Invest in our growth.
Grants & business financing
Equipment, productivity improvements or an expansion into new markets can raise different funding questions. Review grants, contributions and financing in the context of your investment, not in isolation.
What you plan to purchase or build, approximate costs, location and timing.
04Enter defence supply chains.
Industrial & Technological Benefits
The ITB ecosystem is not a conventional grant program. The starting point is your company’s capabilities, supplier readiness and potential fit within defence procurement relationships.
Your products, capabilities and current experience supplying larger organizations.
Not sure where your project belongs? That is a reasonable place to start.
Tell us about your plansA better funding conversation
You don’t need
another list of grants.
You need a way forward.
A program can look promising and still be the wrong fit.
Your project, timing, resources and obligations determine whether it is worth pursuing. We help you examine those details before you invest time in an application.
The aim is straightforward: understand your options, know what they require and decide what makes sense for your business.
Before the next commitment
The right time to ask is while you still have options.
Some programs require an application or approval before spending begins. Checking the requirements during planning can help you avoid an unnecessary dead end.

Canadian Funding Partners
Independent advice. Connected expertise.
The right people around the table. Clear roles from the outset.

Before you enquire
A few things you may be wondering.
How do I know if my business qualifies for government funding?
You do not need to establish eligibility before getting in touch. Your project, business details and timing are the starting point for exploring potential fit. An enquiry is not an approval.
Can we still apply if the project has already started?
Tell us what has been planned, committed and spent. Some routes may no longer apply, while others have different timing rules. The answer depends on the program and your circumstances.
How much work does a funding application take from our team?
Applications can require detailed records and time from your team. Understanding that workload is part of assessing an opportunity. The scope and responsibilities should be established before you proceed.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
Your request provides the starting context for a funding conversation. Further questions may be needed before potential fit can be assessed. It does not enrol you in a paid engagement.
Is government funding ever guaranteed?
No. Program administrators make eligibility and approval decisions. Canadian Funding Partners is an independent business, not a government agency. No approval or funding amount is guaranteed.
