Government services.
Simply explained.

What is covered

The first collection contains 300 reviewed service guides, five life-event pathways and official gateways for all thirteen provinces and territories. Tax and business navigation covers each jurisdiction. Municipal directories cover every region; the name lookup includes 1,548 Ontario and Québec authorities from official exports. Detailed city procedures cover selected tasks, not every local rule. Federal guides are useful across Canada. Regional health and driving guides apply only to the jurisdiction named on each page. This is a growing, bounded collection—not every government rule or service. The published guides are available in English and French. AI chat can explain the available evidence in the language of your question; translation does not add new source coverage.

Using this guide

Use I Can AI to understand a process and find the responsible service. It provides general information, not personalized legal, tax, financial, immigration or medical advice. It is not a government service, regulated adviser or decision-maker.

Applications, filings, payments and benefit decisions happen with the responsible authority or program operator. A guide, a citation or a chat answer does not establish your eligibility, protect a deadline or guarantee an outcome. Check the current official instructions and seek a qualified professional when your circumstances need individual advice.

We prepare summaries with AI assistance and check them against the linked public instructions. Source checks are not independent professional certification. Errors and omissions can remain; use the correction link if something looks wrong.

Benefits, rebates and routine filing

The benefits and rebates directory separates public benefits, tax credits, energy support, rebates, loans and program finders. Each detailed guide identifies its route and conditions. Listings and source review dates do not certify that intake is open. Check the program’s current rules before purchasing work, applying or relying on a payment.

Economic and housing information

Ask about Bank of Canada rates, exchange rates, inflation, jobs, GDP, mortgages and housing markets. Selected national indicators and CMHC rental-market figures are retrieved from official sources when you ask, with a short cache of up to fifteen minutes. Every figure needs its observation date or survey period: a recently retrieved report can still describe an earlier year. Local data is labelled by the source’s reporting area. We do not provide live property listings, appraisals or personalized investment recommendations.

One knowledge base for reading and asking

Service guides and chat use the same reviewed information: the task, jurisdiction, steps, preparation and official references. The forms and checklists library connects documents to the process they support. You can read a guide without using AI, then ask a follow-up when you need help with the next step.

How sources become a guide

We start with an official government service page, check its route and relevant public instructions, and write a short navigation summary. Each record stores its jurisdiction, original links and the date we reviewed them. We do not invent fees, processing times or benefit amounts. Where a guide lists a fee or service standard, it cites a dated official source and states the route it applies to.

A successful source review does not verify an authenticated application or guarantee the government page will remain unchanged. Use current official instructions before taking action. Guide sources have review windows: ninety days by default, with shorter windows for changing application routes and programs. Overdue sources are excluded from reviewed answer matching until checked again. A page can still be read after its review expires; check the official source for current instructions.

What AI can and cannot do here

When enabled, chat selects relevant official sources, retrieves their public pages and uses AI to explain the supported information with citations. It carries recent context into follow-up questions and asks for details such as business structure or location when needed. Maintained guides also supply reviewed facts and document checklists. Selected savings, borrowing and tax guides use their dated reviewed facts rather than automatically merging page excerpts that may mix tax years or eligibility branches. Their source pages are monitored for changes; a detected change requires factual review. The server checks evidence references, output structure and numeric support before displaying generated explanations. Citations identify the source and distinguish a page retrieved for this answer from a dated guide-source review. It explains supported processes and follow-up details; gaps lead to the responsible official route. It cannot access your account, make an eligibility decision or submit anything. When the available evidence does not settle a question, the answer should identify the gap and provide the supported next step. Citations and validation do not guarantee that an AI explanation is correct or that a rule applies to your circumstances. Check the linked official procedure before acting.

This first version is a navigator. It does not determine immigration status, personal tax treatment, legal rights or eligibility. Use the relevant government decision tool or an appropriately qualified professional for individual advice.

Your question and personal information

When AI chat is enabled, your general question and up to four previous questions are sent through our server to the configured AI provider, together with reviewed public source material and, when available, current public-page excerpts. Processing is not guaranteed to stay in Canada. Do not enter personal identifiers, financial details, passwords, documents or private case information.

The conversation stays in page memory and disappears when you reload or start a new conversation. Our assistant code does not save question text or model responses. Technical request counts support rate limits. Your light or dark appearance preference can be saved in your browser; conversation text is never stored with it.

I Can AI uses DeepSeek through OpenRouter. The retained Canada Guide preview may use NVIDIA. OpenRouter’s privacy policy and NVIDIA’s privacy policy describe their data processing. Model hosting providers may process requests under their own policies. Hosting logs and any site analytics are described in the site privacy notice. Browsing service guides works without AI. If AI is unavailable, the page uses the reviewed local service directory.

Municipal name data

Ontario names and authority types come from the Municipalities dataset published by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Ontario.

Québec names and authority types come from the Répertoire des municipalités du Québec, published by the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation, Direction des communications, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. We retained public names and authority types, normalized formatting and omitted other fields. This adaptation is independent and does not imply government endorsement.

These names help find the responsible authority. They are not a complete database of local procedures or verified municipal websites.

Corrections and expansion

If a link or explanation is wrong, tell us the guide title and the public source that changed. Do not send your application, identification or case details. We prioritize source corrections before adding more coverage.

The guide supports a conversation and follow-up questions about the services you are exploring. When enabled, AI selects relevant information from the reviewed evidence supplied by this guide, with official-source citations. AI can make mistakes; check the linked authority before acting. Documents, application routes and limits come from the same reviewed record; unsupported amounts, timelines or personal decisions stay with the official service. Regional services continue to expand. French summaries retain the same scope and source limitations as their English counterparts. Topic and city directories describe checked routes, not complete application instructions. Directory-link checks are labelled separately from reviews of service details. Source link and freshness checks produce a maintenance queue; they do not silently change a factual review date. On I Can AI, background link and content-change checks flag sources for review. They do not automatically approve new rules or rewrite factual guidance. A dated review is a snapshot. On-demand page retrieval does not silently advance a guide-source review date.
