Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions founders most often ask about SNID

Free
How do I apply?
You cannot apply directly. CanNor states there is no open call for applications and that SNID is administered through a separate and targeted intake process. No form, portal or deadline is published.
Does the $41.7 million figure mean my project could get millions?
No. The $41.7 million is the total program envelope over four years starting in 2025-26, spread across two streams and all three territories. CanNor publishes no per-project amount.
What is the connection to the Arctic Infrastructure Fund?
SNID complements the Arctic Infrastructure Fund, a $1B Transport Canada investment, and focuses on projects receiving support through — or preparing for consideration under — that fund.
Is this only for Indigenous organizations?
No. CanNor's wording is 'northern and Indigenous governments and organizations', so non-Indigenous northern applicants in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon are within scope.
