Most federal programs require Canadian incorporation and a defined project with eligible costs. The activity and your stage matter more than your location. A common qualifying profile:
The core federal stack is NRC IRAP (cost-shared R&D), SR&ED (refundable R&D tax credit), CanExport (export market funding), Mitacs (research internships) and the BDC/EDC financing lines. CanaGrants scores all of them against your profile so you can focus on the ones you may qualify for — always confirm eligibility on the official program page before applying.
Yes — stacking is standard. A typical R&D project combines IRAP (federal) + SR&ED + a provincial R&D credit + a BDC line. We flag stacking rules per opportunity.
IRAP funding is a non-repayable contribution (cost-shared), not a loan. It covers a portion of eligible R&D salaries and subcontractor costs while the work is underway.
We monitor federal program pages daily (hourly on Pro). Each brief carries a verified timestamp and links to the official source — and we mark wound-down programs (like CDAP) clearly.
