How our funding works

Activities eligible for funding

Which activities are eligible?

CanExport Associations supports activities that promote, facilitate, and enable Canadian industry's diversification and expansion of their commercial exports into new international markets. Activities in (or targeting) all countries are eligible, provided Canada has not imposed sanctions against a given country. Additionally, activities must respect the Guidelines for Canada’s International Support for the Clean Energy Transition.

Approval of funding for travel and activities that require being physically present in a foreign country, or a foreign participant being physically present in Canada, depends on the status of Government of Canada travel advisories when we assess your application. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that travel restrictions are lifted in Canada and in destination countries before applying.

Proposed activities must benefit the organization's entire industry, the organization's members and non-members alike.
