Step 4. After you apply

1. AAFC will verify your application is complete

After your application is received, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada verifies that all required forms and declarations have been completed and there is sufficient detail in the application for a full assessment.

Note: You should not consider an application as submitted to the program until you receive acknowledgement notice.

2. AAFC will review your application

A full review and assessment of your application against the principles and criteria of the program will be carried out.

At any point after you apply, we 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.
