The courses may include **ICS-300, ICS-400, and position-specific ICS training**, delivered in French.

The listed locations are in **Québec, Montréal, and Ottawa, Ontario**. **Closing date:** November 19, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. The notice lists the Department of National Defence as the buyer, while the requirement is described as supporting the Canadian Coast Guard. This opportunity may be relevant to organizations with qualified French-speaking ICS instructors and experience delivering the specified courses. However, the ACAN format may indicate that the government anticipates awarding a contract to a particular supplier, so interested businesses should carefully review the official notice for any conditions, challenge process, instructor qualifications, accreditation requirements, and submission instructions.
