Are young entrepreneurs unable to apply for a Canada government grant?

Most young entrepreneurs will indeed be able to apply to the Canadian government for a small business grant if they are otherwise eligible. Young entrepreneurs that are not yet of legal age may be required by the Canadian government to have their guardian sign the paperwork. Aside from properly researching Canadian grant programs available to young entrepreneurs, consider applying for multiple grant programs you learn you are eligible for in order to increase your chance of success should one or more application fail.
