Canada startup grants and accelerators closing in November 2026

Short answer. 4 programs for founders in Canada close in November 2026: 3 grants and 1 accelerator. The first closes on 2 Nov 2026 (Creative BC Video Games Early Stage Growth Program) and the last on 27 Nov 2026 (Alberta Innovates AICE (Accelerating Innovations into CarE)).

That is 4 of the 7 Canada programs in my base that have a written closing date, more than any other month. The other 47 of the 54 that are not closed have no written date (8 rolling, 39 with no deadline found) and are not in this count. Every row below is read from the same list as open funding in Canada, so a program that closes or whose link dies leaves this page without anyone editing a line.

Closing in November 2026 (4)

Soonest first. Amount and closing date are the program's own words; a fact I did not find says not found. A date with a time is in UTC. 1 record in my base points to a program page that is already a row here, so each program is listed and counted once.

How current is this list?

Each row says the day its program's page was last read; the rows here were read 10 Oct to 26 Oct 2026. Open the program's page before you apply: dates and terms change.

What this list does not tell you

It does not say whether you are eligible: many rows are limited to a place, a field or who the founder is, and the program's page is the rule. It does not include programs with no written closing date, and it never converts or rounds an amount. It is information, not advice or an offer. A program is not listed once its deadline has passed or when its link was found dead on two checks in a row.
