Who can apply for a Canadian national government grant for opening a small business?

Although the Canadian national government has provided grant based funding for the opening of small businesses several times previously, many of those grant opportunities are becoming far more competitive and difficult to find. It is possible that you may be able to qualify for funding on the provincial level of government, through local grants. In addition, a number of different grants may be available that can be applied that can be used to help companies free up their own existing funds to help pay their start up costs.
