Your real odds
This is a tax credit program, not a competitive grant, so if your work qualifies, you receive it.
The real risk is CRA reviewing and rejecting your claim because the work isn't well-documented as eligible R&D, and claims can be audited, so documentation quality matters.
What it takes
Identify and document eligible R&D workOngoing
Calculate eligible expenditures and ITC1 to 2 weeks
Submit claim with tax return
Worth knowing
CRA offers an optional pre-claim approval process that is worth using if you are unsure whether your work qualifies before investing time in a full claim.
