Your real odds
No public data exists on acceptance rates or annual award volumes, so there is no reliable way to gauge how competitive this program is.
Contributions are decided case by case after a consultation with a dedicated FedDev Ontario officer, so fit is assessed before any formal submission is made.

Worth knowing
FedDev Ontario states there is no deadline and no application form required at the outset, so the correct first move is emailing indigenous-autochtones@feddevontario.gc.ca to discuss your idea, not searching for a form to fill out.
