Sources & Methodology

Programs and official sources

1250 programs: 1–25

The date is the program’s recorded last verification, sometimes from a grouped review. It does not guarantee that the rules have stayed unchanged. About these dates

How MyEligible checks sources, models rules, and handles uncertainty

Dates in this catalog show when a source was last verified. How we check our information.

Official sources

Official sources come first

MyEligible starts with official government and program-administrator sources, including the Canada Revenue Agency, Service Canada, provincial and territorial governments, and municipal sources. Where published rules are clear enough, MyEligible turns them into rule-based eligibility checks and calculations. MyEligible does not make an official eligibility decision. When a material rule or user fact cannot be resolved reliably, the result should remain uncertain rather than being guessed.

What the dates mean

How review dates and change monitoring work

MyEligible tracks when each program was last reviewed against its official source. Most programs are reviewed individually; related programs may also be checked together when a policy or rate changes. Source and policy monitoring can flag pages that may need attention, but an automated signal is a prompt for review, not proof that a rule changed. A review date tells you when MyEligible last checked a program, not that the official source has remained unchanged since then. If you spot something out of date, please send us an email.

Limits

Where automated guidance has limits

Even with a correct official source, not every eligibility or payment decision can be automated. The quiz cannot capture every fact an agency may consider. Estimates can differ because of:

  • Medical assessments (for disability benefits)
  • Asset tests beyond income
  • Recent life events not yet reflected in tax data
  • Case-specific decisions by program staff
  • Documentation reviews

Some programs require medical certification, asset tests, documentation, or case-specific decisions by the responsible agency. MyEligible keeps these dependencies visible and does not treat unresolved amounts as guaranteed cash. Always confirm final eligibility, amounts, and application requirements with the agency or program administrator.

If your spouse or common-law partner has died

CPP survivor pensions (and QPP in Québec) appear in your results whether or not your spouse was a veteran. For Veterans Affairs Canada benefits specifically, the quiz asks about surviving spouses as part of the same question about veterans. Some VAC programs only apply when the deceased spouse was a Canadian Armed Forces or RCMP veteran.

Indigenous programs and community supports

Find Indigenous-led organizations, official benefit programs, Friendship Centres, health coverage, child and family supports, and community services.

Indigenous-serving organizations are listed as referrals, rather than calculated benefits. Indigenous supports often involve community-run programs: contact the appropriate organization directly to explore them. MyEligible does not determine Indigenous identity or community eligibility.

How to open a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)

Opening an RDSP at a financial institution is how you access grants and bonds. You apply there, not through MyEligible.

  1. Confirm DTC approval

    Prerequisite

    The beneficiary must be approved for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) before an RDSP can receive grants or bonds.

    Apply for the DTC online (CRA digital form)How to apply for the DTC (canada.ca)

    How to apply for the Disability Tax Credit

  2. Choose a financial institution and open a plan

    Open the plan

    RDSPs are opened at banks, credit unions, and other participating institutions. MyEligible does not open accounts or endorse any specific issuer.

    Where to find participating institutions:

  3. Apply for the grant and bond

    After the plan is open

    Your financial institution applies for the Canada Disability Savings Grant and Bond. The bond requires no contribution from you.

    How much you could get (canada.ca)

  4. Get your Statement of Entitlement

    Confirm your exact room

    Consult the annual grant Statement of Entitlement sent by ESDC. Ask your bank or other RDSP provider (issuer) to help confirm grant entitlement and your separate grant/bond payment history before contributing; the statement is not a bond-payment record.

Found something out of date?

Government program rules change frequently. If you spot something incorrect on this page (a rule, amount, or link), please send us an email.

We aim to reply within a few business days. When a report needs checking against official sources, that review can take longer than a reply. We update MyEligible when we verify an error. We may not be able to confirm every reported change, and we cannot handle individual benefit casework or emergency assistance.

If you can, include the page or program, what looks wrong, and a link to an official source when you have one. Please do not send your SIN, exact income, medical information, or quiz links that contain personal answers.
