Your real odds
The listing shares no application volumes or approval rates, so you have no baseline to work from.
Loans are distributed through four regional Aboriginal Capital Corporations, and your access point varies by where in BC you are located, which means selection criteria and experience will differ depending on your region.
What it takes
Identify your regional Aboriginal Capital Corporation
Contact them to confirm eligibility and requirements
Prepare and submit your loan application
Worth knowing
Your first move is finding which of the four Aboriginal Capital Corporations serves your area, because that corporation is your actual contact, not the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, which oversees the program through that partnership structure but sits one step removed from your application.
