Your real odds
Selection is merit-based and runs twice a year, with no published acceptance rate.
Your production maximum scales with your track record, so newer studios are capped lower than established ones, and that gap signals how much experience weighs in the decision.
What it takes
Register your company on the Ontario Creates Online Application Portal (OAP) at apply.ontariocreates.ca1–2 days
Read the IP Fund – Interactive Content Guidelines and Budget Template in full2–4 hours
Attend an information session and consult Ontario Creates staff if needed (consultations close two weeks before deadline)1–2 hours
Complete and submit your application through the OAP before the deadline1–3 weeks of prep
Worth knowing
Ontario Creates hosts information sessions on July 23 and August 13, 2026, and attending one is a practical way to clarify requirements before the September 14 deadline, because staff consultations close two weeks out and waiting is a real risk.
