How Canadians do business has changed. To stay competitive and grow, small and medium-sized businesses need to adopt new digital tools.

In Budget 2021, the Government of Canada announced the $4 billion Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) to help:

  • Get your business online
  • Give your e-commerce presence a boost
  • Digitalize your business’s operations

The program offers two grant options:

  • Access to a network of e-commerce advisors for advice and support
  • Up to $2,400 to buy new e-commerce tools
