How to Apply for the Apprenticeship Completion Grant

We recommend you apply online for the Apprenticeship Completion Grant (ACG). It's easy and secure. The online application takes about 30 minutes.

Being prepared will make applying easier. Please review the application checklist.

Application checklist

1. I am eligible.
2. I am applying within the deadline.
3. I have checked the table of required supporting documents and am able to provide the following documents:
   
   
   • Proof of completion of an apprenticeship program in a designated Red Seal trade in my province or territory
   • Proof of journeyperson certification in a designated Red Seal trade received on or after January 1, 2009
   • For permanent residents and protected persons: status documents from Citizenship and Immigration Canada
   The most common reason we reject ACG applications is because of missing proof of completion or certification. To avoid this inconvenience, please make sure you mail your documents to an Apprenticeship Grant processing centre or deliver them to a Service Canada Centre near you after you complete the online application.
   
   
4. I have the following information:
   
   
   • Social Insurance Number (SIN)
   • Provincial apprentice ID number
   • Name and phone number of your financial institution, and a void cheque (if you would like the grant to be deposited directly into your bank account)

Apply now!

If you received the required supporting documents from your provincial or territorial apprenticeship authority and have the information listed above ready, begin your online application for the ACG.
