Kwa niniMyEligible?

Kanada huendesha programu za faida katika ngazi ya shirikisho, katika majimbo na maeneo, na wakati mwingine katika ngazi ya mahali. Kila programu ina kanuni zake za ustahili, mchakato wake wa kuomba, na chanzo chake cha taarifa rasmi. Ikiwa wewe ni mgeni hapa, una muda mfupi, au tayari umechoka, kujua wapi pa kuanzia na nini kinakuhusu kunaweza kuwa changamoto halisi.

Dola nyingi za manufaa hazidaiwi kamwe. Kimsingi, jambo hilo huwakumba wageni katika mwaka wao wa kwanza, kaya zilizo na bajeti finyu, wakimbizi, na watu wanaoishi na ulemavu kuwa ngumu zaidi, kwa sababu mara nyingi hao ndio watu wale wale ambao hawawezi kutumia alasiri nzima kuunganisha pamoja ustahiki kutoka kwa tovuti na laini nyingi za simu.

MyEligible models about 1254+ 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 has full English and French support, with translated navigation in 19 more languages. It is a short quiz in your browser. It points to programs that might fit your situation, gives rough dollar amounts where possible, and links to where you apply.

I built MyEligible on my own in Edmonton. I am one person, not a company or a government agency. I spent about fifteen years working inside government and kept seeing the same gap: the programs exist, but finding what applies to you is exhausting unless you already know the system.

I started this because I wanted that lookup to be simpler for people who do not have an afternoon to spare. I still maintain the rules, sources, and fixes when something is wrong.

One woman asked me to help with her taxes simply because I had said I worked for government. I could not do her return, but the request stayed with me: she was reaching for any door that might open.

That is why I built MyEligible: federal, provincial, and municipal benefits in one place, with every program linked to its official source. It stays free, with no account and no stored quiz answers. The sections below explain how that works and why I am not selling your data.

Some people fill potholes in their neighbourhood. This is the gap I can fill.

It is not perfect. I improve it constantly, and notes about what is wrong, missing, or confusing help make it better for the next person.

If you are skeptical that anything free online is selling you something, that is fair. MyEligible does not work that way. I am not paid when you click a benefit, and I do not sell your quiz answers.

Right now the site is mostly self-funded volunteer work. I am pursuing sponsorship, grants, and a charitable structure so it can stay free for users without charging fees or monetizing people who use the quiz. There are no ads, no user accounts, no lead generation, and no mailing list built from your answers.

The quiz runs in your browser. Your answers are not stored on my server. If you bookmark or share results, they are encoded in the page address you choose to share, not in a profile I keep. I use cookieless, aggregate page-view analytics only to see which pages are useful, not to track you as an individual. Details are in the privacy policy and on the sources and methodology page.

Huhitaji akaunti. Hojaji huendeshwa kwenye kifaa chako. Majibu yako hayahifadhiwi kwenye seva yangu, hayauzwi, au hayatumiwi kwa utangazaji. Zimekunjwa katika URL ya matokeo ikiwa unataka kuweka alama au kushiriki muhtasari wako mwenyewe.

Sheria za kila kadirio zinatoka kwenye vyanzo vya Kanada pamoja na majimbo, maeneo huru au manispaa. Fungua ukurasa wa vyanzo kwa kila kiungo tulichotegemea. Kila manufaa pia huonyesha tulipokagua kanuni au kiasi mara ya mwisho.

First Nations, Inuit, and Métis program links are on the Sources page. MyEligible does not ask about Indigenous identity in the quiz. Open the Indigenous-serving programs and organizations section for NIHB, Jordan's Principle, housing, and regional referrals.

Haya ni makadirio kulingana na ulichoniambia pamoja na kanuni za umma. CRA, mkoa/eneo husika, manispaa inayoendesha programu au wakala mwenye madaraka ndio wenye kuamulia kwa uhakika. Nambari ikipo muhimu katika maisha halisi, thibitisha na mhusika sahihi.

Maswali yanauliza ikiwa wewe ni veteran **au mke/mume aliye hai wa veteran** kwa Veterans Affairs Canada. Pension za waliobaki za CPP na QPP bado zinaonyeshwa mpenzi atakapofariki hata bila huduma ya kijeshi; kadi za VAC kwa waliobaki pia hutumia majibu yako kuhusu veteran aliyefariki.

Ikiwa unafanya kazi katika makazi, huduma za jamii, au urambazaji wa jumuiya, unaweza kutumia hii kama pasi ya kwanza ya haraka kabla ya mazungumzo marefu, jambo ambalo mteja anaweza kwenda nalo nyumbani, au njia ya kutambua programu ambayo haikuwa kwenye rada yako.
