Common questions about this template

Common questions

Will this work for the specific program I'm applying to (IRAP, CanExport, BDC, regional dev agency)?
Yes for all major Canadian funders. The 6-section structure is what nearly every program asks. Some programs add 1-2 specialized fields (e.g., IRAP wants a Technology Risk Assessment) which our template includes as an optional appendix.
Is it just placeholders or are there real examples?
Each section has structured prompts AND a sample of what a winning answer looks like (anonymized from real applications). Delete the samples when you draft your own.
Can I use it for multiple grant applications?
Yes — unlimited use within your business. Many of our customers use the same base draft and customize 20% for each program. License covers one business; consultants serving multiple clients should email [email protected] for a multi-client license.
