The Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) is one of the most significant government support programs for businesses adopting digital and AI technologies. Yet many eligible businesses don't know it exists — or don't know how to access it.
What CDAP Offers
CDAP provides grants of up to $50,000 for Canadian businesses that are implementing digital adoption technologies, including AI-powered automation tools. The program is designed to help small and medium businesses modernize their operations and compete more effectively.
Eligibility
To qualify, your business must:
- Be a for-profit corporation with 1-499 employees
- Have at least $50,000 in annual revenue
- Have been in operation for at least 2 years
- Have a Canadian business number
What the Grant Covers
CDAP grants can be used for AI automation consulting, implementation services, and technology purchases. This includes workflow automation tools, conversational AI platforms, CRM automation systems, and the professional services needed to implement them.
How to Apply
Applications are processed through approved digital adoption service providers. Netwit is a registered CDAP service provider — we help businesses navigate the application process, identify eligible projects, and implement automation solutions that qualify for funding.
The application process typically takes 4-6 weeks from submission to approval. Given that grants of $50,000 are available, it's worth the effort for any eligible business planning a significant automation investment.
