If you have a valid, carefully prepared plan for starting your business and have checked the terms of eligibility of the various goverment grants offered in Canada, it is possible there is a grants program available for you. Such a program may help you become self employed by starting your own business. It may be helpful to keep in mind most goverment self employment programs will not be concerned with multiple applications for different grants, especially if the separate grants are for different purposes. So, you may wish to apply for more than one goverment of Canada grants program to increase your chance of success.
