Short, practical guides for Canadian founders applying for government funding.

• Anatomy of a winning application

  Reviewers score problem, plan, and capacity. Lead with the measurable outcome, then prove you can deliver it.

• SR&ED tax credits explained

  If you resolve technological uncertainty, you can recover a large share of eligible R&D salaries — keep dated technical notes all year.

• Documents to have ready

  Articles of incorporation, two years of financial statements, a project budget, and CVs for key technical staff.

• Stacking federal and provincial funding

  Most programs allow stacking up to a total assistance limit. Check the limit before you commit matching funds.

• Common rejection reasons

  Wrong province, missing incorporation date, budget that doesn't match the narrative, and applying after the intake closed.
