Canadian incentives and capital pathways

Put your capital to work. Intelligently.

Explore relevant federal and regional programmes, model an illustrative incentive scenario, then seek a qualified eligibility assessment. The 30 to 45% scenario on the home page is eligibility dependent; nothing here is a funding offer.

Programme pathways

Five places to start

Programme references do not imply government affiliation or accreditation. Current official rules prevail over illustrative rates. The pathways feed phase two of the 90 day pipeline, structure and align.

  • Federal. Export development.

    CanExport SMEs

    Cost-sharing

    International market-development support for qualifying Canadian SMEs. Funding windows, eligible costs and cost-sharing levels are determined by the current applicant guide.

    Official programme guidance

  • Federal. Research and development.

    SR&ED tax incentive

    15% to 35% indicative

    Investment tax credits for qualifying scientific research and experimental development in Canada. Rates and refundability depend on the claimant, expenditure and applicable rules.

    Official programme guidance

  • Federal. Clean economy.

    Clean Technology ITC

    Up to 30%

    A refundable investment tax credit for specified eligible clean technology property. Labour requirements, acquisition dates and property conditions affect the available rate.

    Official programme guidance

  • Federal. Manufacturing.

    Clean Technology Manufacturing ITC

    Up to 30%

    Support for eligible manufacturing equipment and specified critical mineral activities. Property, qualifying use and phase-out rules must be checked independently.

    Official programme guidance

  • Regional. Investment support.

    Provincial and municipal pathways

    Project-specific

    Investment and site-development support varies by location, sector and project. Start with the relevant provincial investment agency; no regional award is assumed in the estimator.

Indicative scenario

Capital incentive estimator

Distinct capital and R&D cost pools. No double-counting of the same expenditure. Select only one clean-economy credit per expenditure. Model a scenario before seeking a qualified eligibility assessment.

Not tax advice or a funding offer. Government assistance may reduce eligible cost bases. Labour conditions, claimant status, refundable limits and interaction rules are not modelled. Have a qualified adviser verify all amounts.

Capital stacking

How the pieces fit in a 90 day mandate

  1. 1

    Qualify the project and the claimant

    Programme eligibility and incentive assessment sit in days 31 to 60 of the framework, after the mandate is established.

  2. 2

    Separate the pools

    Eligible capital, separate R&D expenses and any regional or municipal support are modelled apart so nothing is counted twice.

  3. 3

    Pair with the site and the buyer

    Industrial site selection and buyer off-take are structured alongside the incentive case, not after it. See investment sites across Canada and Canadian manufacturing partnerships.

  4. 4

    Verify with a qualified adviser

    Applicant-owned funding actions are part of the 90 day decision pack. The Accounting Doc handles Canadian entity, bank and tax setup for businesses landing here.

Questions about incentives

Are the incentive figures guaranteed?

No. The 30 to 45% scenario is eligibility dependent and the estimator is illustrative. Programme references do not imply government affiliation or accreditation, and current official rules prevail. Have a qualified adviser verify any amount.

Which programmes are referenced?

CanExport SMEs, the SR&ED tax incentive, the Clean Technology ITC, the Clean Technology Manufacturing ITC and provincial and municipal pathways such as Invest Ontario. Each card links to the official guidance.

How does the estimator work?

Two distinct pools. Eligible clean-tech capital takes an illustrative 30% credit; separate eligible R&D expenses take the lower bound of the published 15% to 35% indicative range. Nothing is double-counted and no regional award is assumed.

Can WeOpen apply for a programme on my behalf?

No. WeOpen records your mandate, assesses fit and points you to the official guidance. Applications are yours, with a qualified adviser.

I am a Gulf or Indian company. Can you help me set up in Canada?

Yes. Landing assessments cover entity, tax, staffing and financing steps, site shortlists and incentive eligibility, with The Accounting Doc coordinating the Canadian setup.
