SR and ED Program

The Canadian government offers a generous Scientific Research and Experimental Development incentive program designed to promote experimentation and technological advancement. Each and every year, millions of the dollars distributed through this program go unclaimed. If you develop new products or enhance and improve existing products and file a T1 or T2 tax return, you are eligible to apply for this benefit.

Many of our clients do not even realize that they qualify for this benefit. Through the SR&ED program, everyday manufacturing activities are eligible and your work does not have to represent technological breakthroughs or innovative achievements. Minor improvements, advancements in design or quality and improvement of energy efficiency are all sufficient criteria. Your project doesn't even have to be a success. It's the attempt that counts.

Our team understands the details and intricacies of this generous program. Let us help you take full advantage of it by:

  • Identifying all eligible projects.
  • Implementing and maintaining records for government R&D programs.
  • Writing the technical reports and documentation for SR&ED submission.
  • Working with your accountant to pull together the value of the claim.
  • Preparing the tax schedule to support the amount claimed.
  • Working with your accountant to merge the SR&ED submission with your tax return.
  • Meeting with government auditors or other officials to facilitate the acceptance of the claim.
  • Taking charge of all processes required to get you your refund.


  • Unlike accounting firms or consulting companies, Pro-Active Fenestration Solutions specializes in windows and doors. Because of this, we are able to maximize your claim each and every year.

    In the past few years alone we have been able to obtain millions of dollars for our clients – money that would otherwise have been left unclaimed. Let us put our knowledge to work for you.
