04 FAQ

Financement techno — questions fréquentes.

Quel financement pour une entreprise logicielle?

01

The core stack is SR&ED (up to 35% refundable on R&D labour), NRC IRAP (cost-shared R&D funding and advisory), provincial digital-media credits (OIDMTC, BC IDMTC), and Mitacs internships. Most also pursue federal and provincial IT-services contracts. CanaGrants scores all of these against your profile.

La R-D pré-revenu est-elle admissible?

02

Yes — SR&ED is about technological uncertainty, not revenue. Early-stage startups frequently claim SR&ED on core product R&D, and IRAP supports first-time applicants with $75K–$200K initial projects.

Peut-on remporter des contrats publics?

03

Yes. Many federal and provincial IT RFPs are sized for SMEs, and the Buy Canadian threshold dropping to $5M on June 15, 2026 expands preferences for Canadian suppliers. We score each RFP bid/no-bid against your capabilities and past performance.

Qu’est-il arrivé au PCAN?

04

The Canada Digital Adoption Program (Boost Your Business Online / Grow Your Business Online) wound down March 31, 2025 and is no longer accepting applications. We mark wound-down programs clearly so you never chase a dead link — and surface live alternatives instead.
