Venture Inception Program
The Venture Inception Program (VIP) , funded by the Government of Canada, is a self-employment assistance program which provides individuals with income support, coaching and technical assistance to enable them to become self-employed.
The program is open to those who have not participated in a self-employment assistance program funded by the Government of Canada in the last five years and who:
- are receiving Employment Insurance (EI) benefits; or
- have had an EI benefit claim end in the three years before they asked for assistance; or
- received maternity or parental leave benefits in a period that began no more than five years before they asked for assistance.
Benefits will be paid for a maximum of 52 weeks.
