- be a Canadian resident for tax purposes and
- have filed your tax return in the previous year

To date, seniors aged 65 and above, adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate, and children under the age of 18 can apply for the CDCP. All remaining eligible Canadian residents can begin applying in 2025 (date to be announced). If you are eligible, you can apply online or via telephone.
INFORMATION FOR RDHs
Participate as a CDCP Provider
RDHs can now participate in the CDCP as providers by confirming directly with Sun Life, who is administering the program on the Government of Canada’s behalf. Participation in the CDCP is voluntary, but CDHO encourages RDHs to participate in this important initiative that will have a significant impact on millions of Canadians. Learn more about participating in the CDCP.
