Your real odds
Across all Creating, Knowing and Sharing streams combined, 341 applications succeeded in 2023–24, and Long-Term Projects is one slice of that total.
The program runs five separate funding streams, so the competition you face depends on which stream you enter, and no rejection rate is published for any of them. The program is national, and Canada Council does not signal how selective individual streams are.
