Your real odds
No acceptance rate is published, but the $15,000 cap and 50% cost-coverage rule mean applicants with strong international activity plans and clear business development outcomes are best positioned.
The grant runs once a year on a single spring deadline, and Ontario Creates does not release selection data, so your best signal is how concretely your application ties international activity to measurable outcomes.

Worth knowing
