Veterans Affairs Canada funds education, training, and short courses that help released Canadian Armed Forces members move into a new career, including business bootcamps, certifications, and professional development relevant to starting a company. Formal post-secondary funding is available up to a maximum that is indexed each year, with a smaller portion reserved for short courses. The amount you can access depends on your years of service: six to twelve years qualifies for half, twelve or more years qualifies for the full amount. This is non-repayable and tied to your honourable release.
