Your real odds
No public acceptance rate data exists, and FinDev Canada's mandate is narrow enough that most applicants will screen themselves out before they even apply.
FinDev Canada lends to established private sector borrowers with real operations in developing countries, so if your business is early-stage or entirely domestic, you are not the target.
What it takes
