 Re: ANY actual grants (not loans)?
I'm not too sure about Canada, but because it is usually seen as a more socialist country than the US, I think your chances would be higher than for anyone in the United States.
There are several grants out there you just have to know how to dig for them. I have used my congressman to help me look for some. Also trade organizations can be used as a source for grants.
It's literally like panning for gold. It'll take you forever to find something, but once you do, you're nearly set financially. |
