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 1317 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:

• Your answers compared with published program rules
• 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 for individuals. There are no user fees, no advertising, no paid program placement, and no sale of quiz answers or personal information. MyEligible is an independent benefits-navigation platform with a public-interest mission. Its commercial model is institutional: organizations can work with MyEligible on pilots, professional navigation, integrations, API access, licensing, and related services without charging individual users or selling personal data.

The public site is free. There is no advertising, no paid placement of programs, and no sale of personal information. Organizations may pay to license API access. That payment does not change results, rankings, or which programs are shown. MyEligible does not take money from drug manufacturers to change coverage information.

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

In Canada, MyEligible is a bilingual public platform for source-backed benefits navigation, calculators, guides, and next-step preparation. Answers stay in your browser unless you choose to share them.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, MyEligible offers an English-language site to help people find programs, understand the rules and prepare their next steps: Explore the New Zealand public site. Policy, sources, and review stay local to each country.

Humanitarian assistance

For people affected by crises outside Canada, MyEligible publishes an informational page of official starting points only. It is not a personalized humanitarian navigator and does not confirm whether services are open. Humanitarian support lists verified links with last-checked dates and clear limits.

Newcomers and refugees in Canada

MyEligible helps people newly arriving in Canada explore government benefits and support programs that may apply to them. This includes guidance about resettlement assistance and interim federal health coverage, where different immigration and resettlement circumstances may affect available options. MyEligible cannot confirm immigration status, benefit eligibility, or health coverage enrollment. We are improving official referrals and practical next steps.

You can start with the benefits finder or read Settling in Canada from the Government of Canada.

Your situation → published program rules → relevant programs and estimates → 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.

The quiz keeps your current answers in this browser tab. The standard results link shares program names, estimated amounts, confidence labels, result reason labels and the order of suggested actions. A separate optional link shares your quiz answers. Anyone with either link can read what it contains; the links are not encrypted.

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.

How we check our information.

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.
