EDC Trade Impact Program

Export Development Canada · Federal

In plain language

EDC's response envelope for Canadian exporters navigating US tariff pressure and broader trade shocks. Bundles enhanced Export Guarantee Program limits, expanded accounts receivable insurance, and preferred-pricing on buyer financing — delivered through EDC's existing product suite with prioritized underwriting and elevated risk tolerance. Not a grant; these are fee-based commercial products, but the envelope signals more aggressive capacity for NL exporters in seafood, offshore services, and manufacturing. Apply via EDC's standard intake; reference the Trade Impact Program on the application. Best for NL SMEs with $500K+ export receivables needing working capital leverage their primary bank will not extend unguaranteed.
