Wage subsidies and benefits
There are a variety of government programs designed to help the unemployed, underemployed and lower income Canadians. Check out the Wage Subsidy Programs on the Service Canada page. The Benefits Finder retrieves health and income programs and rebates.
If you prefer to browse through a list rather than use the Benefits Finder, look at the income assistance page from Service Canada.
The Ontario Targeted Wage Subsidy program can give you the opportunity to get on-the-job work experience. Certain categories of employers are eligible for funding too.
Ontario Self-Employment Subsidy helps unemployed people start their own businesses.
