About MyEligible

Canada's government benefits and support programs are spread across federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal systems. Each program has its own rules, forms, dates, and official source. Finding a useful starting point can take hours, especially during disability, job loss, caregiving, arrival in Canada, or other financial pressure.

MyEligible models more than 1316 federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal programs and supports across Canada, with municipal detail for 230 communities.

More than a directory

MyEligible does not simply collect links. It evaluates structured program rules from official sources, connects related programs, and provides explainable next steps. Where published rules support it, MyEligible also provides benefit estimates. Not every program has a calculated amount, and only the responsible government or administering organization can make a final eligibility or payment decision.

What sits underneath the simple experience

The public site is designed to feel straightforward. Behind that experience, MyEligible includes:

• Deterministic, source-backed eligibility logic
• Benefit estimates where published rules support calculation
• Structured federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal program data
• Public drug coverage and medication-navigation tools
• Disability, caregiver, and care-navigation guides and calculators
• Time-aware policy and currentness modelling
• Official-source links and transparent uncertainty
• Privacy-conscious matching without requiring a persistent user profile

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

The public site is available in Canadian English and French. Accuracy and natural wording take priority over adding languages quickly.

Your situation → deterministic policy logic → relevant programs and estimates → interactions and next steps → official sources

MyEligible applies the same source-backed rules every time: the same answers produce the same results. Calculations and guidance come from published federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal rules, not from paid placement or guesswork.

For matching, the quiz keeps your current profile in that browser tab's session storage. The default copied results link shares a minimized results snapshot, not your full answers. A separate optional profile-sharing link contains encoded answers, not encrypted answers, and should be used only when you intend to share them.

Every benefit links to an official page or form. Open the sources and methodology page for the bibliography, review approach, and last-verified information behind rules and amounts.

Results and amounts are estimates based on the answers provided and the published rules available. Only the responsible government or administering organization can make a final eligibility or payment decision.

An optional pathway can show First Nations, Inuit, and Métis programs without asking MyEligible to verify status, registration, or band membership. You can also browse the Indigenous supports directory.

Sensitive household and life-situation information used for benefits matching does not need to become a persistent user profile. MyEligible is designed to minimize the personal information required to provide useful guidance. No account is required, and functional browser storage keeps language, accessibility settings, and the current quiz session available on your device.

Privacy-limited analytics records allowlisted events and broad categories, not exact quiz values or a full answer profile. MyEligible does not sell personal information, run advertising, or track people across websites.

Read the privacy policy and the sources and methodology page for the full details.

MyEligible targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA and includes keyboard navigation, visible focus, semantic controls, high contrast, larger text, Atkinson Hyperlegible, and reduced-motion support.

The accessibility statement lists what is tested, known limitations, planned improvements, and how to report a barrier or request another format.

People can use MyEligible for themselves. The platform is also designed to support social-service organizations, healthcare teams, settlement organizations, employers and benefits providers, and community organizations as an explainable starting point before specialized advice.

Organizations can link to MyEligible's quiz, tools, and guides or use them during client and employee support. No account or integration is required.

MyEligible can be used by social-service organizations, healthcare teams, settlement organizations, employers and benefits providers, and community organizations, in contexts such as intake, financial education, workplace assistance, and benefits guidance.

MyEligible helps people understand likely relevance and next steps. It is not a replacement for a caseworker, tax professional, lawyer, health professional, or government decision-maker.

MyEligible is maintained in Edmonton, Alberta, as an independent, volunteer-led public-interest project.

Mission-aligned support and partnerships are welcome when they help keep the service free and useful without changing its editorial, eligibility, source, accessibility, or privacy standards.

MyEligible focuses on benefits and supports for individuals and families. Blockfeed Funding is a separate free Canadian funding navigator for businesses, nonprofits, community organizations, and other applicants looking for grants and public funding. The two sites are separate tools with separate data.
