Canadian Dental Care Plan
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is helping make the cost of dental care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents.
Do You Qualify?
You don’t have access to dental insurance.
You and your spouse/common-law-partner (if applicable) must have filed your tax returns in Canada so that your family income can be assessed for the previous year.
Your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000.
You’re a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
*If you have dental coverage through a provincial, territorial or federal government social program, you can still qualify for the CDCP. If you qualify, your coverage will be coordinated between the plans to make sure there are no duplication or gaps in coverage.*
Apply Online
All eligible Canadians can now apply for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
