While government sponsored programs in Canada are mainly
funding work done in Canada, some foreign based work may be funded also. For
example, if you have an SRED eligible project, a small percentage of your wage
costs can be on account of employees outside the country. If you are claiming
SRED on the traditional filing basis rather than the proxy basis, travel
expenses to get you to a foreign location to attend work done there may be
eligible so long as those expenses are for the needs of the project.
The Strategic Innovation Fund will recognize foreign costs
to the extent that they do not exceed 15% of the total project costs.
The best thing when examining eligibility of your costs for
funding is to not make assumptions. Ask questions.
