Effort
1–2 hours
Can you get this?
✓Employer must be in aviation/aerospace industry

✓Student must be enrolled at a Canadian PSE institution
✓Student must be Canadian citizen, PR, or protected person
✕International students on visas or permits are not eligible
Your real odds
This is a wage subsidy program, so if you meet the criteria and apply before the student starts, you are likely to receive funding.
Eligibility decisions come back within 48 hours of submitting the employer form, and the main risk is applying after the student has already started work, which disqualifies the placement.
What it takes
Confirm a placement with an eligible student before they start work, then complete the online Employer Information Form1–2 hours
Have the student complete the Student Information Form (names and emails on both forms must match)30 minutes
Gather supporting documents: company description, business number, proof of student enrollment, job description, learning plan, and signed employment contract1–3 days
Wait for CCAA approval (within 48 hours), then sign a contract and agree to a payment schedule before the student's start date2–3 days
Worth knowing
CCAA approval must be in hand before the student's employment start date, and if you do not have a student yet, CCAA's Magnet job-matching service can help you find candidates.
