Please review the following requirements carefully before submitting your application and paying the $150 CAD application fee.
Application Does Not Guarantee Approval

The $150 CAD application fee is non-refundable once the application has been submitted.
This applies regardless of whether the application is approved, declined, withdrawn, incomplete, or determined to be ineligible.
The application fee covers the administrative work involved in reviewing the application, verifying eligibility, reviewing documentation, and assessing the applicant’s suitability for the Sub Training Partner program.
