Comprehensive guide to 64 r&d & innovation funding programs in Quebec
Businesses in Quebec can access 64 specialized r&d & innovation programs combining federal and provincial funding opportunities. Quebec is the only province with a consolidated provincial R&D tax credit (CRIC, effective March 2025) stacking on top of federal SR&ED, plus a new AI-specific credit (CDAEIA) launched January 2026.
| Program | Rate (CCPC) | Refundable? | Effective date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal SR&ED (CCPC enhanced) | 35% on first $6M of eligible expenditures | Yes | Budget 2025 raised limit; ongoing |
| Quebec CRIC (base rate) | 20% on eligible QC R&D expenditures | Yes | March 25, 2025 (replaces 8 legacy credits) |
| Quebec CDAEIA (AI-specific) | 30% on qualified AI R&D expenditures | Yes | January 2026 |
| Program | Max Amount | Who leads | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|
| NRC IRAP (advisory + project) | Up to ~$1M (larger for growth projects) | Company (ITAs assess first) | 8–16 weeks after ITA engagement |
| NSERC Alliance | Up to $1M/year | University PI (company co-applies) | 3–6 months (competition-based) |
| Mitacs Accelerate | $15K–$30K per internship unit | Company proposes project | 6–10 weeks |
You're in an exceptionally strong position. Quebec is the only province with the CDAEIA — a 30% refundable credit specifically for AI R&D expenditures, effective January 2026. Layer this on federal SR&ED (35% on eligible wages up to the $6M limit) and the base CRIC (20%), and your effective R&D cost recovery on qualifying AI activities can exceed 60% when all three apply to the same expenditures.
Code-as-R&D qualifies when the software work involves resolving a technological uncertainty — not just implementing known techniques. If your team is developing novel algorithms, training architectures, or AI infrastructure that goes beyond applying existing libraries, document the uncertainty and your systematic investigation approach. NRC IRAP's Quebec-region ITAs are experienced at advising on software SR&ED eligibility.
Recommended stack for this persona: SR&ED + CRIC + CDAEIA (all three, same expenditure base) → NRC IRAP for advisory & matching grants → Scale AI supercluster for supply-chain AI projects with consortium partners at the Montréal hub → Mila / Cité de l'innovation as co-applicant anchor if you need an academic partner for NSERC Alliance.
You're a strong SR&ED claimant — the most valuable program for this profile. For manufacturers doing continuous R&D (not one-off projects), the annual SR&ED claim can represent a significant recurring recovery. With the Budget 2025 expansion restoring capital expenditure eligibility, machinery and equipment acquired or modified for R&D purposes — previously excluded — is again an eligible cost category. This is a meaningful change for Quebec manufacturers that invest in R&D-dedicated equipment.
Beyond SR&ED, the CRIC base rate of 20% applies to the same qualified expenditures, increasing your total recovery. For manufacturers in advanced materials or microelectronics (Bromont, Boucherville, Varennes clusters), PRIMA Québec is the sector organization to engage — it facilitates access to co-funded R&D projects with industry consortia. For larger innovation capital projects, the Investissement Québec Programme Innovation stream provides capital for transformative manufacturing R&D.
Recommended stack: SR&ED + CRIC (annual recurring claim on wages + newly eligible capital) → Investissement Québec Programme Innovation for project capital → NSERC Alliance if you have a university partner → PRIMA Québec for advanced materials R&D consortia.
| Program | Max Amount | Match Required | Delivery Agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRIC provincial R&D credit | 20% refundable on QC expenditures | No (tax credit) | Revenu Québec |
| CDAEIA (AI credit) | 30% refundable on AI R&D expenditures | No (tax credit) | Revenu Québec |
| Bon d'Innovation (IQ) | Up to $25,000 | 50% from company | Investissement Québec |
| Programme Innovation (IQ) | Varies by project size | Yes (case-by-case) | Investissement Québec |
Quebec's post-secondary ecosystem — with universities including Université de Montréal, McGill, Polytechnique, UQAM, Laval, Concordia, Sherbrooke, and a network of 48 CEGEPs — is one of the strongest in Canada for industry-partnered research. If you have an active or prospective academic partner, NSERC Alliance is the most valuable program: up to $1 million per year, with the company providing at least 25% of the total project cost in cash. Alliance Alliance Advantage is an accelerated stream for time-sensitive collaborations.
Mitacs Accelerate pairs graduate students from any Quebec university with your R&D projects at $15,000–$30,000 per internship unit (company and Mitacs each contribute). Quebec-based Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) also funds some industry-partnered research, particularly in health sciences and social innovation sectors. For broader college-to-industry applied research, the College and Community Social Innovation Fund (CCSIF) targets CÉGEP partnerships.
Recommended stack: NSERC Alliance (lead, largest dollar value) + Mitacs Accelerate (fill specific talent gaps at lower cost) + FRQ partnership programs (health/social focus) + SR&ED claim on company's own contribution to the partnership costs (company-side expenditures are SR&ED-eligible if they meet the definition).
Quebec's agri-food R&D corridor — centred on Saint-Hyacinthe (Canada's largest agri-food R&D hub), Drummondville, and Longueuil — has access to a distinct set of programs. AgriInnovate (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) provides up to $10 million for development and commercialization of agri-food innovations. Genome Canada co-funds large-scale genomics projects with provincial co-funders. Protein Industries Canada Supercluster is relevant for plant-based protein and value-added agri-food.
At the provincial level, CRIQ (Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec) offers technology transfer and applied research services to Quebec manufacturers, including food processors. For Montréal-based bioscience companies, Montréal InVivo (the life sciences cluster) coordinates access to provincial programs, federal CIHR-partnered health R&D streams, and Genome Québec co-funding. The SR&ED + CRIC stack applies equally to agri-food R&D activities that meet the scientific uncertainty criterion.
| Program A | Program B | Stackable? | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| SR&ED (federal) | CRIC (Quebec) | Yes | Same expenditure base; file CRA T661 + Revenu Québec TP-1086.R.23 |
| CRIC | CDAEIA | Yes (AI expenditures only) | CDAEIA applies to the AI-specific subset; verify with tax advisor |
| SR&ED / CRIC | IRAP grant | Yes, with adjustment | IRAP grants received reduce your SR&ED-eligible expenditure base (government assistance rule) |
| NSERC Alliance | SR&ED | Yes (company portion) | Company's own cash contribution to the Alliance project is SR&ED-eligible if it meets the definition |
| Program | Max Benefit | Application Process | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| SR&ED (CRA) | Up to $2.1M/year (CCPC enhanced) | Annual tax return (T661) | All R&D-active companies |
| NRC IRAP | Up to $1M+ (large firms higher) | ITA engagement → project application | SMEs with commercialization plan |
| Mitacs Accelerate | $15K–$30K per intern unit | Online application, 6–10 wk turnaround | Grad-student-augmented R&D |
| Strategic Innovation Fund | Up to $50M | Expression of interest → full proposal | Large-scale, transformative projects |
1. CRIC consolidation (March 25, 2025): Quebec's eight legacy R&D credits were consolidated into the single CRIC (Crédit pour la recherche scientifique et le développement expérimental) effective March 25, 2025. The eight former credits — including the Crédit RS-DE général, Crédit pour la recherche universitaire, Crédit pour les cotisations des employeurs à des cotisations syndicales et professionnelles, and related bonus streams — are now filed under a single consolidated schedule. The base rate is 20% refundable. Quebec R&D claimants should use the new TP-1086.R.23 form and should not attempt to claim the old credit schedules for tax years after March 25, 2025. Your SR&ED consultant or CPA should be aware of the transition.

CDAEIA — AI-specific R&D credit (January 2026): The Crédit pour développement de l'intelligence artificielle (CDAEIA) launched January 2026 as a new refundable provincial credit at 30% on qualified AI R&D expenditures. This is separate from and additive to the CRIC. The definition of "qualified AI R&D expenditures" narrows the scope to bona fide AI research — not general software development — so verify your activities qualify with Revenu Québec's technical guidelines before claiming. This credit makes Quebec the most aggressive Canadian province for AI-specific R&D tax incentives.
Source: Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie (MEIE), announcement January 20263. Federal SR&ED: Budget 2025 raised expenditure limit from $3M to $6M — directly, with no intermediate step: The Budget 2025 (tabled April 2025) raised the qualifying expenditure limit for the 35% CCPC enhanced SR&ED credit directly from $3 million to $6 million per year. Capital expenditures are eligible again. The maximum enhanced credit for a CCPC under the new limit is $2.1 million per year. This change is highly material for Quebec manufacturers and tech companies running sustained R&D programs with wage bases above $3 million. The phase-out for large CCPCs was also adjusted — consult CRA guidance for the updated taxable capital thresholds.

Quebec Budget 2026-2027 innovation commitments: Quebec's 2026-2027 budget included $1.7 billion in commitments relevant to innovation and economic development, including allocations for the Plan économique du Québec and continued investment through Investissement Québec's strategic innovation mandates. The Conseil de l'innovation du Québec continues to coordinate innovation programming across the MEIE, FRQ, and cluster organizations. Specific allocation breakdowns by program are expected to be published through MEIE program calls in mid-2026. Businesses should monitor Investissement Québec's website for new Programme Innovation calls.

PEV 2030 (Plan pour une économie verte) implementation updates: PEV 2030's $10.1 billion investment plan continues to fund electrification and clean economy R&D. Innovation projects at the intersection of R&D and clean tech — battery technology, electric transportation, green building materials — can access both the standard CRIC/SR&ED stack and PEV 2030 streams delivered through Environment and Climate Change Canada Quebec-region programs and Transition énergétique Québec. Companies in Varennes (battery R&D cluster), Bromont (microelectronics), and Montréal's electrification corridor should review both streams for potential dual application.
Investissement Québec delivers the Bon d'Innovation and Programme Innovation across all regions, with regional offices in Montréal, Québec City, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, Gatineau, Laval, Longueuil, Drummondville, and Saint-Hyacinthe. The Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie (MEIE) coordinates provincial innovation policy and delivers the CDAEIA guidance through Revenu Québec. Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED-Quebec) handles federal regional innovation support across 16 regional offices including Montréal North, Montréal Central, Laval, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, Québec City, Baie-Comeau, Rimouski, and Gaspé. NRC IRAP's Quebec region has advisors based in Montréal, Québec City, and Sherbrooke, serving companies across the province. Scale AI's headquarters and primary operations are in Montréal (Saint-Bruno), making it particularly accessible for Greater Montréal AI companies. Mila (the Quebec AI Institute) in Montréal's Cité du Multimédia district is the anchor institution for CDAEIA-eligible AI research partnerships. PRIMA Québec serves the advanced materials sector from Montréal and has connections to the Bromont and Boucherville microelectronics clusters. Prompt (the ICT innovation cluster) serves digital and software companies across Québec City and Montréal. The Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) — with three branches (Nature et technologies, Santé, Société et culture) — has offices in Montréal and Québec City. CRIQ (Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec) operates from Québec City with satellite presence across the province. Varennes is home to important battery and electrification research facilities connected to PEV 2030 programs. Saint-Hyacinthe anchors agri-food R&D. Drummondville is emerging as a manufacturing and advanced materials R&D hub.
