Fund Type

The Government of Canada is currently accepting applications from organizations interested in receiving grants under the Compensation for Employers of Reservists Program (CERP). In addition to issuing grants to employers of reservists and self-employed reservists, CERP provides an opportunity to conduct outreach and bring awareness to the business community and educational institutions about the important role, training and special skills reservists bring to the military and their personal careers outside of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

  • Provide a one-time financial support to civilian employers of reservists and self-employed reservists, to offset operational costs they incur when reservist employees deploy on full-time operational duty (Chief of Defence Staff directed operation), both domestically and abroad.
  • Enable reservists to be more fully integrated alongside the Canadian Armed Forces Regular Force.
  • Enable a better understanding of the role of reservists in the military, their places of employment and in their communities.
