Members of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) have until June 1 to renew their coverage by proving they still qualify for the program, otherwise they’ll need to submit a new application and will not be covered until they’re re-approved.
The federal dental insurance program, available to anyone who doesn’t already have coverage through an employer and whose net adjusted family income is under $90,000, started accepting applications for all eligible adults in May of last year after a phased rollout began in 2023.
To prove they fall under the income requirement, Canadians need to have submitted their 2025 tax return prior to the June 1 renewal deadline, otherwise existing members will see their coverage end.
“As a CDCP member, you must renew your coverage every year to confirm that you still meet the eligibility requirements,” the federal government says on its website.
