Your real odds
Your application is scored against a fixed evaluation grid covering technical viability, financial viability, and alignment with program goals, so meeting eligibility alone does not get you funded.
Each application is reviewed individually, and you hear back within four to five weeks of submitting a complete package.
What it takes
Confirm eligibility: verify your province, sector, TRL level (7+), and that the product is not yet in the marketplace1–2 days
Engage an arm's-length consultant and obtain their proposal and statement of work before applying1–2 weeks
Complete the online application form with supporting documents (consultant proposal, financial details, project plan)1–2 weeks
Await evaluation decision, then sign contract before incurring any costs4–5 weeks after submission
Worth knowing
Do not commit any money before LearnSphere receives your application, because costs incurred before that date are ineligible, whereas costs from the receipt date onward are admissible if the project is approved.
