CANADA-ALBERTA JOB GRANT

The Canada-Alberta Job Grant is closed for applications until March 31, 2025. This closure is due to the federal government's decision to cut funding delivered under the Canada-Alberta Labour Market Transfer Agreement.


Applications submitted prior to the closure will continue to be processed. You can read more about the reasons for this closure in the Minister’s Statement.

FUTURPRENEUR

Futurpreneur has increased its startup loan offerings to provide up to $75,000 in collateral-free financing, alongside one-on-one mentorship.


The organization is also expanding its eligibility criteria to support young entrepreneurs who have been in business for up to 24 months - doubling the previous 12-month threshold. This addresses a critical funding gap for young founders who have launched their businesses but lack the equity or financial track record required by most small business lenders.  


Side hustle entrepreneurs will also benefit from increased loan offerings of up to $25,000 paired with one-on-one mentorship.
