CanExport Readiness Checklist
This checklist is for preparation only. It does not confirm eligibility, approval, or current application status.
Confirm the Target Market
Write down the country or region, why it is a new market for your business, and what demand signal makes it worth pursuing.
Define Eligible Activities
Separate market research, travel, translation, trade event, legal, certification, and promotional activities before building your budget.
Gather Business Proof
Keep your business number, incorporation or registration records, employee count, revenue range, and recent financial documents ready.
Build the Budget
Use supplier quotes where possible and keep each line item tied to the market-entry activity it supports.
Check Stacking Rules
If another program may fund the same expense, verify stacking rules with the administrator before you count the money twice.
Verify Official Status
Before submitting anything, check the official CanExport SMEs page and save a copy of the current intake instructions.
