Most Canadian companies qualify for more than they realize — and miss it. Match with programs like SR&ED, NRC IRAP, CanExport and Canada Summer Jobs, plus provincial funding across Ontario, BC, Alberta and Québec. Scored to your business, updated as new programs open.
Most Canadian companies combine all three on a single project. Start with the type that matches your spend.
Non-repayable funding for R&D, hiring, exporting, training and capital — federal, provincial and municipal.

Refundable + non-refundable credits — SR&ED, digital media and clean-economy ITCs claimed at filing.
Each province runs its own grant agencies on top of federal programs. Ontario, BC, Alberta and Québec lead by volume.
Refundable ITC up to 35% on eligible R&D. Expenditure limit doubled to $6M in Budget 2025.

Eligibility depends on your incorporation status, province, industry, headcount, revenue and project type. Most federal R&D funding (IRAP, SR&ED) requires a Canadian-incorporated SME; export funding (CanExport) now requires 3 full-time staff and $300K revenue. CanaGrants scores all 6,686 open opportunities against your saved business profile so you can focus on the ones you may qualify for — and always links the official source to confirm eligibility before you apply.
No. Grants are non-repayable; loans (CSBFP, BDC, EDC) are repayable capital; tax credits (SR&ED, digital-media) reduce tax owed or are refunded at filing. Most companies stack all three — for example IRAP + SR&ED + a BDC line on a single R&D project.
