Advance Payments Program (APP) Interest-Free Limit Increased for Canola Producers

As of September 2025, the Advance Payments Program (APP) interest-free limit has been increased to $500,000 for canola advances, for the 2025 and 2026 program years.

This is the portion of the advances on which the Government of Canada pays the interest on behalf of producers and will allow canola producers access to additional cash flow and interest savings to help cover costs until they sell their products.

Usually, the government pays the interest on the first $100,000 of the advance. The advance is repaid as products are sold, with up to 18 months to fully repay the advance for most commodities. 

Under the Advance Payments Program, you may be eligible to receive up to $1,000,000 per program year. Your cash advance is calculated based on up to 50% of the anticipated market value of the eligible agricultural products that you will produce or that you have in storage.
