The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) operates on an annual renewal cycle based on your most recent tax filing. This means your eligibility and co-payment level are reassessed each year — and you’ll continue to receive benefits as long as you meet the program’s requirements.
Here’s what to expect:
📅 Annual Review by CRA
- The CRA checks your most recent tax return each year
- Your income and eligibility are automatically re-evaluated
- You do not need to reapply every year unless your circumstances change
💳 CDCP Card Validity
- Your CDCP dental card stays valid as long as you remain eligible. If your income changes or you gain access to private insurance, you must update your status.
✅ Staying Covered
- File your taxes annually
- Keep your CRA My Account info up to date
- Inform CDCP if your insurance situation changes
