CDCP eligibility and applications
The CDCP is available to eligible Canadian residents who do not have access to private dental insurance and have a family income below the program threshold. Some people with provincial, territorial, or federal government dental coverage may still qualify, depending on their circumstances.
Applications for the 2026–2027 benefit year are currently open. Coverage and any patient co-payment depend on your adjusted family net income and the services provided.
You will receive a welcome package from Sun Life with your coverage details and start date once you are enrolled.
