Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the CDCP, Canadian residents must meet all four of the following criteria (eligibility is reassessed annually):
- No access to dental insurance
- Students offered dental insurance through a post-secondary institution, student union, or parent/guardian benefits – even if they must pay for it or can opt out – are considered to have access to dental insurance and are not eligible for the CDCP.
- Filed a 2024 Canadian tax return (also applies to a spouse or common-law partner, if applicable.)
- Adjusted family net income below $90,000.
- Canadian resident for tax purposes.
Important Information About Attestation
The CDCP is an attestation-based program. If a student declares no access to dental insurance, their application may be accepted, but this does not confirm eligibility.
Applicants must follow all eligibility rules and provide truthful information. False or misleading declarations may result in termination of coverage, and individuals who received care while ineligible may have to repay the costs.  Â
The CDCP covers a wide range of oral health services but it may not cover all recommended treatments or their full cost. The program is designed to support individuals without dental insurance and is not intended to replace existing student or private plans.
FAQ
Can I use the CDCP to waive my post-secondary institutions’/student unions’ dental plan?
No. Students with access to a dental plan – even if they must pay for it or can opt out – are not eligible. The CDCP is intended for those without any dental coverage.Â
Why are some students accepted in the CDCP even if they are not eligible?
Because the CDCP relies on self-declared information, initial acceptance does not guarantee ongoing eligibility. The program includes safeguards, such as the Member Eligibility Review process, to identify ineligible participants, who may have coverage terminated and be required to repay the costs.Â
I am graduating and will lose access to dental insurance. Can I apply to the CDCP?
Yes. Once your existing dental insurance ends and you meet all four eligibility criteria, you may apply. If circumstances change after enrollment – for example, starting a job with dental benefits – you must stop using CDCP coverage. Continuing to use the CDCP after becoming ineligible could result in termination of coverage and repayment of costs.
