About MyEligible

Canada runs benefit programs at the federal level, in the provinces and territories, and sometimes locally. Each program has its own eligibility rules, application process, and official source of information. For newcomers, caregivers, people with disability, seniors, and households under financial pressure, knowing where to start can take hours across many websites and phone lines.

Many benefits go unclaimed each year. MyEligible exists to reduce that gap with a plain-language navigator that points to official programs and published government rules.

MyEligible models about 1267+ federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal benefits and supports across Canada's 13 jurisdictions (10 provinces and 3 territories), with municipal-level detail for 212 communities. It is free, requires no account, and is built for individuals and the organizations that support them.

MyEligible is used by Canadians checking their own options, and by settlement agencies, hospitals, employers, municipalities, insurers, non-profits, and governments that help people find programs they may qualify for.

MyEligible is free to use. There are no fees, no advertising, and no sale of quiz answers or personal information. The service is maintained as an independent public-interest project.

Stable funding is being pursued so the navigator can remain free without charging users or monetizing their data. Details on privacy and analytics are in the Privacy section below.

MyEligible is fully available in English and French today. Other languages in the language menu are in development. Translations are expanded carefully; accurate wording takes priority over speed.

MyEligible uses a deterministic eligibility engine. The same answers produce the same results. Calculations follow published federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal rules coded from public sources, not from machine learning guesses or paid placement.

You do not need an account. The quiz runs in your browser on your device. Answers are not stored on MyEligible servers as a user profile. If you bookmark or share results, they are encoded in the page address you choose to share.

Every benefit links to the official page or form where you apply. Open the sources and methodology page for the full bibliography, methodology, and last-verified dates for each rule or amount.

Amounts shown are estimates based on your answers and the public rules on hand. Only the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), a province, a territory, a municipality running a program, or another responsible agency can confirm eligibility and payment. If a number matters for a real decision, verify with them.

The quiz includes an optional question where you can choose to see First Nations, Inuit, and Métis programs. It asks only whether you would like these shown; it does not ask for or verify status, band membership, or registration. If you opt in, relevant programs such as Jordan's Principle, Non-Insured Health Benefits, and First Nations and Métis housing can appear in your results. You can also browse all of them, along with organizations and regional referrals, in the Indigenous-serving programs and organizations section on the Sources page. That list is a starting point, not a complete picture of every Indigenous program in Canada.

The quiz asks whether you are a veteran or the surviving spouse of one for Veterans Affairs Canada. CPP and QPP survivor pensions still appear when a partner has died regardless of military service. VAC survivor cards also use your answers on the deceased spouse's veteran status.

No account is required. The quiz runs in your browser. Quiz answers are not stored on MyEligible servers for a user profile.

MyEligible uses privacy-first, anonymous aggregate analytics to understand which pages and programs are used. It does not sell personal information, run advertising, or track you across other websites.

Full details are in the privacy policy and on the sources and methodology page.

MyEligible is designed for inclusive use, including keyboard navigation, screen readers, high contrast, larger text, optional dyslexia-friendly type, and reduced motion. Settings are available from the accessibility control in the site header.

The accessibility page describes supported features, known limitations, and how to report barriers.

MyEligible can support employers, insurers, municipalities, hospitals, settlement agencies, non-profits, and governments that want Canadians to find benefits they may qualify for.

Common uses include employee or member assistance programs, patient and client navigation, front-line screening before a deeper appointment, and public information desks. Organizations can link directly to the quiz, provincial guides, or the tools directory.

MyEligible does not replace qualified advice from a caseworker, tax professional, or government office. It is a starting point based on published rules.

For partnership inquiries, corrections, or feedback from organizations, contact us by email.

MyEligible is seeking one founding partner organization to help keep Canada's free benefits navigator available to everyone while preserving complete editorial and eligibility independence.

A founding partner would provide stable support so the service can remain free for users without ads, fees, or sale of personal data. This section describes the model under consideration; it is not a request for sponsorship on this page.
