The digital economy is transforming the way businesses operate and interact with their customers. The Canadian adoption of digital technologies is growing rapidly, with 86 percent of Canadians using the internet regularly. According to the recent IBM Digital Analytics report, Canadian digital adoption is accelerating at a faster pace than the adoption of other digital technologies. 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 or help digitalize your business’s operations.

What is the purpose of the CDAP?

The program is designed to encourage the adoption of digital technologies, including the use of digital services, by Canadian businesses and consumers. The goal is to promote the widespread uptake of digital technologies among Canadian businesses and consumers. The program supports businesses that want to adopt digital technologies and service providers that want to help them do so. The program also supports consumer education efforts designed to encourage Canadians to use digital technologies more widely.

What is the Canada Digital Media Partnership?

In February 2019, Industry and Agriculture and Agrifood Canada (IA) entered into a partnership to help the federal government achieve its goal of making Canada a more digital nation. The Canada Digital Media Partnership helps the federal government achieve its digital mandate through the Canada Digital Media Program. IA and its member companies have been working with the federal government to develop a funding model that is flexible and will work with the current funding environment. IA will also work with the federal government to establish guidelines and provide the government with a governance structure to support the operation of the program. IA will then administer the program and oversee the disbursement of funds.

How will CDAP work?

The Canada Digital Adoption Program supports organizations that want to help Canadian businesses adopt digital technologies. The program will allocate funds to two types of organizations: Canadian Digital Service Providers and Canadian Digital Marketplace Providers. Canadian Digital Service Providers are non-profit groups and not-for-profit groups that work with Canadian businesses to help them better understand and successfully adopt digital technologies. A minimum of 90 percent of the funds allocated to Canadian Digital Service Providers must go to the delivery of digital services. Canadian Digital Marketplace Providers are entities that facilitate the operation of digital services platforms in Canada. Allocating funds to Canadian Digital Marketplace Providers is at the discretion of the federal government.

How do digital services benefit businesses?

Businesses can benefit from digital services for a variety of reasons, including improved marketing, better search engine optimization, and more efficient payroll and human resources processes. Digital services can also help Canadian businesses address cybersecurity issues.

How do digital services benefit consumers?

Businesses can use digital services to engage customers more effectively and better meet their needs. Digital services can help businesses identify and address customer needs, monitor customer satisfaction, and improve marketing effectiveness. Digital services can also help consumers find what they are looking for online, save time, and enjoy a more secure online experience.

CDAP Bottom line

The Canada Digital Adoption Program is an important initiative that will help Canadian businesses learn more about the benefits of using digital technologies. It will also help Canadians better access the services they need online. 2815 Consulting can help you find a registered “Advisor” and make an application to secure a grant ranging from $2400 to $15,000.

2020 was NOT a good year...

First posted: May 13, 2020 – Ottawa, Ontario – Government of Canada

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in uncertainty and anxiety for small businesses and their employees in all regions of Canada. These businesses are at the heart of communities nationwide and are a source of local jobs and local pride.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, which is why the Government of Canada has implemented a series of concrete and tangible measures to help them retain their employees, pay rent and access capital to cover costs. Building on these measures, the new Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) devotes nearly $962 million to help more businesses and organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, technology, tourism and others that are key to the regions and to local economies.

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages, today announced that the RRRF is now accepting applications from businesses and communities. It is specifically targeted toward those that may require additional help to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic but have been unable to access existing support measures. Canada’s businesses are as diverse as Canadians are, and the fund’s immediate, concrete help will be tailored to their unique needs. Most importantly, it will relieve pressures, helping them pay employees and cover costs. In the months to come, it will position them to play a meaningful role in our economic recovery.

The best way to help Canadian communities is through a source they already trust, which is why the six regional development agencies (RDA) will be delivering this funding. Covering every region of Canada, the RDAs are very familiar with the economic realities of their regions and are well suited to assist workers and businesses.

The funding will be allocated as follows:

This funding is part of the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, which commits more than $149 billion to support Canadians and businesses through this difficult time. As other government measures are further strengthened, the RDAs will adapt to meet the ongoing needs of local businesses.

Businesses interested in receiving support through this initiative are now invited to apply for the RRRF through their local RDA.

The Canadian Government COVID response program for Businesses

The Canadian Government has announced a series of support programs to allow companies to safely and actively re-start their operations.  These programs are varied and there are programs applicable to small businesses, SMEs and mid-market companies.  However, while this support is available (depending on the program… $40,000 to in excess of $10 million), some of the programs have an expiration date.  Those can range from October 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021.  Do you need additional support? Have you looked at what programs you qualify for?  Call us.  Maybe we can help. Read the official posting – https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/economic-response-plan.html
