02What qualifies

Three conditions. No exceptions.

CDCP eligibility comes down to three federal conditions, checked in order.

No private coverage
Any of the three disqualifies

An employer plan, private insurance, or a health spending account that covers dental: any one of them ends eligibility, regardless of income.

Income
Under $90,000

Adjusted family net income, from the last tax return. Coverage steps down from 100% to 60% to 40% as income rises inside that ceiling.

Tax filed
You, and your spouse or partner

For the previous tax year. No return on file with the CRA means no coverage, no matter how low the income.

These are federal rules, verified on canada.ca on 2026-09-15. No clinic can change them.

In Quebec? RAMQ covers basic care for children under 10 separately from CDCP. The French version of this page has the full breakdown.

03Timing

Renewal is an annual event, not a one-time signup.

The 2026 renewal window ran April 15 to June 1. Patients who missed it are left with a coverage gap and no retroactive reimbursement. New, first-time applications are still accepted on a rolling basis year-round; the next renewal window opens in spring 2027.

04Questions patients ask

The answers your front desk gives every day.

Am I eligible for CDCP?Toggle answer
Three conditions, all required: no access to private dental insurance, an adjusted family net income under $90,000, and a filed Canadian tax return for you (and your spouse or partner, if applicable) for the previous year.
What income cuts off CDCP coverage?Toggle answer
Under $70,000 covers up to 100%. $70,000–$79,999 covers up to 60%. $80,000–$89,999 covers up to 40%. $90,000 or more isn't eligible.
Does CDCP cover implants or Invisalign?Toggle answer
No. Implants and orthodontics, including Invisalign, are excluded at every income level, with no clinical exceptions.
When can I apply or renew?Toggle answer
The main renewal window runs mid-April to early June each year. Miss it and there's no retroactive reimbursement. New, first-time applications are accepted on a rolling basis all year.
How much does CDCP save patients?Toggle answer
About $900 a year on average, per the federal program's own April 2026 figures, across more than 6.5 million enrolled Canadians.
