Your real odds

With over $400 million committed across 7 years, this fund runs ongoing rounds rather than a single competitive cutoff.

Federal and provincial governments fund this jointly, so provincial priorities shape selection alongside federal criteria, and competition shifts depending on your province and project type.

What it takes

Confirm eligibility in your province and under one of the three focus areas1–2 days

Prepare a project proposal aligned with innovation, infrastructure, or science partnership criteria1–3 weeks

Worth knowing

The national component, the Canadian Fish and Seafood Opportunities Fund, runs a separate application process, so confirm you are applying to the correct stream for your province before you spend time on it.
