Common questions about robotics services in Canada
We provide coast-to-coast robot leasing from CAD 2,800/month. Includes delivery, installation, bilingual operator training (English and French), and Canadian-based support. Deployment in 1–3 weeks. Lease terms from 1 month to 5 years. Available in all provinces and territories — including remote northern and mining locations.
SR&ED provides up to 35% refundable tax credit (CCPCs, first $500K) on eligible R&D expenditures including labour, materials, and subcontractor costs. If you're developing novel robot applications, creating custom integration solutions, or performing experimental deployment in new environments, these activities likely qualify. We provide SR&ED-ready documentation and partner with accredited SR&ED consultants.
Yes — full bilingual support across all services. Operator training, safety documentation, robot HMI interfaces, and customer service are available in both English and French. Our Montreal office serves Quebec clients with native French-speaking robotics engineers. We comply with Quebec's Charter of the French Language (Bill 96) requirements.
NRC-IRAP provides non-repayable contributions (grants) for SMEs with fewer than 500 employees. An Industrial Technology Advisor (ITA) works with you to develop your project. Funding covers wages, subcontractors, and materials for robotics R&D and integration. We can introduce you to our assigned ITA and assist with project scoping.
Yes — Investissement Québec offers the ESSOR program for manufacturing automation, and PRIMA Québec supports advanced materials and manufacturing innovation. The Ministère de l'Économie et de l'Innovation provides Audit Industrie 4.0 (subsidized smart factory assessments) and Productivité Innovation grants. We help Quebec clients navigate provincial and federal programs simultaneously.
