Canada Job Grant
Pays Canadian employers up to about $10,000 per employee toward eligible training costs when they upskill their team.
It is a federal program delivered jointly with the provinces and territories, so exact caps and process vary by province; a typical cap is around $10,000 per employee. Employers apply through their province's own CJG portal with a training plan, training provider details and a cost breakdown.
The grant covers employee skills training rather than any particular sector, helping Canadian businesses and SMEs fund training delivered by approved providers.
