Your real odds
341 applications were successful across the entire Creating, Knowing and Sharing program in 2023–24, and the Canada Council does not break out Short-Term Projects rates separately, so you are working with incomplete competitiveness data.
The program runs multiple intake cycles per year, which distributes competition across rounds rather than concentrating it in one annual cut.
