Information Seminars

Free public information seminars provide a general overview of the program, explaining the program's eligibility criteria, what expenditures are eligible, and how to file a SR&ED claim. Our industry-specific seminars explain the SR&ED program's eligibility criteria as they relate to a specific industry. These seminars are intended for those claimants who have some general knowledge about the SR&ED program and are suitable for technical staff.
