December 18, 2023
We announced the creation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). This means that constituents in Etobicoke Centre will never be forced to choose between going to the dentist and paying their bills. You can find more information at the following link: https://www.canada.ca/.../dental/dental-care-plan.html
To qualify for the CDCP:
- you must have an annual adjusted family net income under $90,000
- do not have access to dental insurance
- must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- a tax return from the previous year must have been filed
Applications for the dental plan will first open for seniors aged 87 and up starting in December 2023, expanding in phases by age group, those in this age bracket who may be eligible will receive a letter inviting them to apply.
You can apply online using your MyCRA account or by phone by calling 1-800-715-8836.
Family net incomes between $70,000 and $79,000 will have a 40 per cent co-payment. And those between $80,000 and $89,000 will have a 60 per cent co-payment plan.
