Apply for the Canadian Dental Care Plan
How do I apply for the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
Start with the Canadian Dental Care Plan’s eligibility and application guidance. The official page offers MSCA, an alternative online application and telephone assistance. Information about a spouse in your application does not automatically submit an application for that spouse.
Where to begin
- Read the current eligibility requirements and preparation checklist.
- Choose the official MSCA, alternative online or telephone application route.
- Follow the plan’s instructions after applying and check the actual coverage confirmation before relying on coverage.
Before you open the official service
- The current eligibility checklist
- Details of any existing dental coverage, kept private
- Whether a separate spouse application is needed
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
Applying does not establish approval, a coverage start date or that every dental charge will be covered.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
