Your real odds
No public acceptance rate exists, but CIC serves a specific regional market, so you are competing locally rather than nationally.
CIC has operated since 2012 and centers its public profile on individual success stories, which points to a relationship-based review process rather than a high-volume open call.
What it takes
Review eligibility and apply online1 to 2 hrs
Attend 16-week Entrepreneur Workshop16 weeks
Work with a mentor to strengthen application
Worth knowing
CIC pairs financing with education and mentoring, and completing their Entrepreneur Workshop appears central to how they assess applicants, so engaging with the full program strengthens your loan candidacy rather than running parallel to it.
