To apply for this subsidy, you must first submit a quick scan. The Orange Corners team uses this quick scan to review your project ideas and give you a non-binding recommendation on your proposal. After completing the advisory process, you can decide whether to submit a formal subsidy application. Please note that you must submit your quick scan at least 2 weeks before the deadline for an application round, as the advisory process may take up to 2 weeks. Submit your full proposal via the online OCIAC subsidy application form.
