Your real odds
Two cycles per year means the total number of projects funded annually is limited, and the cap structure ($25K for development, up to $400K for production) tells you nothing about how many applicants are competing for those slots.
Ontario Creates does not publish acceptance rates, but the fact that staff are available for pre-application consultations is a reliable sign that selection is competitive enough to warrant that access.
What it takes
Register your company on the Ontario Creates Online Application Portal (OAP) at apply.ontariocreates.ca1–2 days
Read the IP Fund – Linear Content Guidelines fully and attend an information session if possible2–4 hours
Prepare your application, budget template, and Ontario spend schedule1–2 weeks

Worth knowing
Ontario Creates explicitly encourages you to contact staff before the two-week pre-deadline consultation cutoff, and using that conversation to pressure-test your budget and Ontario spend rationale is the most direct advantage most applicants skip. Information sessions are also scheduled for July 28 and August 12, 2026.
