Current Canadian Dental Care Plan members

If you had coverage for the 2025-2026 benefit year and did not renew by June 1, 2026, you can submit a new application for the 2026-2027 benefit year. However, there may be a gap in coverage.

Renewals for the 2027-2028 benefit year will open in spring 2027.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) provides coverage over a single benefit period ending each year on June 30. As a CDCP member, you must renew your coverage every year to confirm that you still meet the eligibility requirements.

If you miss the renewal period, you can submit a new application, but there may be a gap in your coverage until it is approved again. Any dental care received during this gap will not be covered nor reimbursed retroactively.

Once your renewal application is completed, you will receive a determination letter confirming whether you remain eligible under the plan, with coverage effective from the renewal start date and valid until June 30, 2027. Review all the information in your determination letter to confirm any changes, including adjustments to your co-payment level, if applicable, as it could be different based on your 2025 adjusted family net income.

If you have any changes to your coverage or co-payment levels, inform your provider by bringing your letter to your next appointment to avoid
unexpected charges for oral health care services.
