After you apply
Canada Community Security Program (CCSP)

After submitting your application

After submitting online, the applicant's Designated Organizational Contact will receive a follow up email (from "Public Safety Canada <noreply@qemailserver.com>") confirming receipt of your application. Please contact us if you do not receive one after 24 hours.

Upon confirmation of the receipt of your application, your project will enter the Assessment Phase (see program phases). This phase takes approximately one month, depending on the volume received. During this phase, your project will be assessed by Public Safety Canada. All applicants will be contacted once the Assessment Phase is concluded, regardless of the decision.

Regularly check your junk/spam email folder as Public Safety Canada may contact you after the submission of your application. Failure to provide requested documentation or clarifications by the set deadlines may result in an incomplete application.

All contributions are subject to the availability of funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by the Policy on Transfer Payments.

If selected for funding

If selected for funding, your project will move from the Assessment Phase to the Development Phase (see program phases).

The amount of funding your organization will receive for your project is not confirmed until you sign a contribution agreement (CA) with Public Safety Canada.

Once your contribution agreement is signed, you must complete all project activities, within budget, by the end date of the agreement. You must also submit a Final Performance Report and other financial deliverables to Public Safety Canada within three (3) months after the completion of the project.

Please be advised that all funded projects may be subject to an audit within six (6) years after completion.

Misuse of funds and/or failure to comply with agreement requirements outlined in the contribution agreement may result in penalties, including the suspension or termination of the agreement, no funds reimbursed, disqualification from future funding opportunities, legal action by the Government of Canada, and/or other remedies available.

Please contact your assigned Program Advisor or the program mailbox (ccsp-pscc@ps-sp.gc.ca) should you have any questions.
