Your real odds

This is an incentive program tied to registration, so if you meet the sponsorship requirements, you access the financial incentives without competing against other applicants.

Your odds depend on completing the administrative steps correctly, and the main barrier is getting your Sponsor Agreement and Training Agreement approved by Skilled Trades Ontario.

What it takes

Sign a Sponsor Agreement and get approved by Skilled Trades Ontario (required only for first-time sponsors)1–2 weeks

Find an apprentice who meets eligibility criteria and submit an Application for Apprenticeship Training via the STO Portal1–4 weeks

Register a Training Agreement with Skilled Trades Ontario, which unlocks eligibility for provincial and federal financial incentives1–2 weeks

Worth knowing

Financial incentives only become accessible after the Training Agreement is formally registered, so getting that agreement registered quickly is the prerequisite most applicants underestimate.
