CDAP's Mission

Mission CDAP Assistance helps Canadian-owned businesses in Mission, British Columbia, explore funding and guidance for adopting digital technology. The site describes the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) as a government initiative associated with Business Development Bank of Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, supporting businesses as they plan and implement digital improvements. Its offerings include assistance with applications for a grant of up to $15,000, an interest-free loan ranging from $25,000 to $100,000, and a wage subsidy of up to $7,300 for eligible interns.

The grant is described as covering up to 90% of an advisor consultation fee, while loans can help fund a digital adoption plan involving areas such as artificial intelligence, online marketing, or information technology. The service promotes expert guidance, strategic planning, and support for business growth, profitability, and online development. It outlines eligibility criteria including Canadian ownership, for-profit status, one to 499 full-time equivalent employees, and annual revenue of $500,000 to $100 million in at least one of the previous three tax years
