Step 4. After you apply
After your application is received, the Canadian Agricultural Strategic Priorities Program verifies that all required forms and declarations have been completed and there is sufficient detail in the application for a full assessment.
Next, a full review and assessment of your application against the principles and criteria of the program will be completed.
At any point after you apply, the program may contact you for more information.
Should your application be approved, you will be required to enter into a Contribution Agreement with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
You should not consider an application as submitted to the program until you receive the acknowledgement notice.
The submission of an application creates no obligation on the part of the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to provide funding for the proposed project.
