EDC is dedicated to supporting Canadian businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re adjusting the APSG to meet the current needs of Canadian businesses.

EDC is willing to consider increases to the APSG limit for existing customers facing challenges brought on by COVID-19.
EDC has traditionally focused on supporting companies that export their products and services. Due to the pandemic, that has changed. Until the end of 2021, EDC will be offering this solution to companies that do not export.
