Start by checking your eligibility
Being uninsured is an important point to check, but it is not the only item. The Government of Canada says that you must meet all four eligibility requirements before you apply. Read the current requirements carefully before entering information, especially if your household situation or dental coverage has recently changed. This can help you choose the right route and avoid treating an application as a guarantee of coverage.

Have the key details ready
The application page lists the information needed for each applicant, including a Social Insurance Number when available for children, date of birth, full name, home and mailing address, and any dental coverage through government social programs. If you have a spouse or common-law partner, the application may also need information to confirm marital status and calculate adjusted family net income. Prepare these details in advance so you can review them calmly before submitting anything.
- Identity Have each applicant’s full name and date of birth available.
- Address Check the home and mailing address you will provide.
- Coverage List any dental coverage through government social programs, if applicable.
- Household If applicable, be ready to provide spouse or common-law partner information.
Know the official application options
The official page describes online application through My Service Canada Account, an alternative Canada.ca application route for people who cannot use that account, and phone support through Service Canada. The detailed guide on the next page sets out these options and the information to check first. Use only the official destination when you are ready to continue; it is the place to follow the current instructions for your situation.
If someone is helping you, do not assume they can make decisions for you. The official guidance distinguishes a trusted person who helps with your consent from a delegate who has legal authority to represent you. That distinction matters when deciding whether you can apply yourself, need assistance, or need to arrange documents before a delegate can act.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to meet every eligibility requirement?
Yes. The Government of Canada states that applicants must meet all four eligibility requirements before applying. Check the official criteria rather than relying only on one factor, such as not having private dental insurance.
What information should I prepare first?
Prepare the listed identity, address and coverage information for each applicant. If applicable, also have the information needed about a spouse or common-law partner so the application can confirm marital status and calculate adjusted family net income.
Can my spouse be covered through my application?
No. The official page says that a spouse or common-law partner must submit their own application to be covered under the CDCP.
