Should these milestones not be met by the specified date or level, government reserves the right to revoke or amend the offer of sponsorship funding.

The level of assistance is limited by government’s budget and its priorities. No applicant can be guaranteed funding nor can any applicant be guaranteed to receive the full amount requested.

The decision on sponsorship funding applications is final.
