To apply for this program you need to send a copy of your organization's most recent T4 summary
A T4 Summary shows a summary of the information from T4 slips you submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It does not have any personal employee information. An example can be found on the CRA website.
Do not attach documents that include personal employee information – this is a privacy breach.
If you are not sure you have the correct document or if you do not have a T4 Summary, please contact us.

Because Graduate to Opportunity agreements run for two years:
We require a separate application for each position you hope to fill with GTO funding
The graduate you hire cannot start work until your application is approved. You may not apply for GTO if the graduate you want to hire is already a full-time employee.
