Frequently asked questions
How many tourism funding programs are there in Canada right now?
6 verified programs are open as of our latest checks: 3 grants and rebates and 3 loans and financing programs, across 5 provinces and territories. Programs open and close through the year, and every program shows the date we last checked it.
Do these programs cover the full cost?
Rarely. Many grants here pay a percentage of eligible costs up to a cap, and you pay the rest. The loans on this page must be paid back. Many programs also require approval before you buy or sign anything, because spending first can disqualify the whole project. Each program page lists its rules.
Who approves these applications?
Each program's administrator decides, usually the government body or organization that runs it, never us. BBN Labs is an independent Canadian company, not a government agency. Applying through the official program site is always free.
