4. Benefits
This section describes the objectives and expected outcomes of your project. This section should serve as a rationale for why this project should receive funding.

- Choose the primary activity that best aligns with your project’s objectives, activities, and outcomes. Your project may be compared to similar projects of a chosen primary activity. Refer to the program website for more details.
- Indicator table *
In the Indicator table, targets should represent the incremental results expected as a result of the project, over the period from the proposed funding start date to a date up to one year following the project completion. For each indicator, enter a result target and the date by which your project would achieve that target. If your project does not have a value to report for a listed indicator, input “0” and enter a target date. If your project will have economic or other benefits not captured by these indicators, describe them in the following section, about other significant benefits. If you are only applying for liquidity assistance, focus on ensuring the accuracy of the target for “number of jobs maintained.”
For this program, the indicators are:
Export sales growth ($)
The value (Canadian dollars) of total anticipated sales growth related to exports over the period from the project funding start date up to one year following the proposed end date.
Number of jobs created
A job created refers to a full-time equivalent (FTE) job that did not exist prior to the project,
and which was created as a result of the project. One FTE equals one year (12 months) of full-time employment (typically 40 hours per week). Seasonal or part-time employment should be converted to FTEs.Number of jobs maintained
A job maintained refers to a job that existed within the applicant organization prior to the project, but that would not continue or would likely be lost without liquidity assistance. Enter the number of jobs in the region of Canada in which you are applying that you expect to maintain with liquidity assistance as full-time equivalents (FTEs). The number should be current as of the date of your application. The number should be reasonable and consistent with the payroll information in your application and must not exceed the total number of Canadian employees provided in the “Organization Information” section. Do not include:
- Contractors;
- Vacant positions;
- Future hires;
- Employees working elsewhere in Canada (i.e., if you have operations in more than one RDA catchment area, you will be required to submit separate funding requests for those employees);
- Employees working outside of Canada; or
- Payroll costs covered by another government program or initiative, including any jobs maintained as a result of an RTRI pivot project.
Number of technologies to market
The number of knowledge-based products, processes, services, or technologies which meet legal and regulatory requirements in order to be sold to consumer or industrial clients.
Revenue growth ($)
The value (Canadian dollars) of the total increased revenues within Canada resulting from this project, over the period from the project funding start date up to one year following the proposed end date.
Value of Canadian content used
Estimated value of Canadian content to be used in the project. This refers to Canadian valueadded in goods, services or labour, including both goods and services. Only the Canadian portion of each good or service is counted.
- For services: Canadian content reflects work performed by people based in Canada.
- For goods: Canadian content reflects value added in Canada, such as assembly, customization, installation, integration, training, commissioning, or support carried out in Canada.
Value of Canadian materials used
Estimated value of Canadian materials to be used in the project. This refers only to steel, wood products, and aluminum that are produced and manufactured in Canada. Produced in Canada means materials that have undergone primary manufacturing and fabrication in Canada. Further details are available in the Policy on Prioritizing Canadian Materials in Federal Procurements.

Eligible businesses may receive liquidity assistance equal to 50% of their average eligible monthly payroll, for a period of up to 12 months but no later than March 31, 2028, to a maximum non-repayable contribution of $2 million.
If the payroll-based amount does not meet a business’s demonstrated liquidity need because of high essential operating expenses, up to 50% of eligible operating costs may also be considered, on an exceptional basis. The assessment of liquidity need will help determine the amount that may be authorized, capped at $2 million, taking into account the information provided and attested to in this section and the “Funding” section.
- Total liquidity assistance requested (up to $2 million)
- Enter the total liquidity assistance requested, in Canadian dollars, up to $2 million. Base your request on your demonstrated liquidity shortfall over the next 12 months and the amount required to maintain operations and employment in Canada. Your request should be supported by eligible payroll and, where necessary, essential operating costs, after accounting for forecasted revenue, available financing, working capital, and other government assistance. Any amounts approved may be less than the amount requested.
- Average monthly payroll for the most recent 12-month period
Enter your average eligible monthly payroll for the most recent 12-month period using amounts that can be supported by payroll records and CRA payroll remittance reports. To calculate this amount, add your eligible payroll expenses for the most recent 12 completed months and divide the total by 12.

- Briefly explain how the assistance would be used to maintain employment and operations in Canada and how your business will cover any gap between government assistance and total operational liquidity needs * (Maximum 2,000 characters)
