Marketing and Export Support Programs
Two grant programs aim to help businesses with their marketing and export. The main difference between the provincial program (PSCE) and the federal program (CANEXPORT) is the geographic scope. For the federal government, exporting means, for example, targeting Europe, Asia, or the United States; for the provincial program, exporting can be within Ontario or British Columbia.
These programs are mutually exclusive. Therefore, you can only claim one of the two for a given period.
