Before Your Visit

Your 4 CDCP Steps

North Hill does not process CDCP applications. You apply directly with the Government of Canada, and once you are approved, we handle the paperwork with Sun Life.

  1. Check that you qualify

    You need to be a resident of Canada for tax purposes, have filed your most recent tax return (your spouse or common-law partner too, if you have one), have an adjusted family net income under $90,000, and have no access to private dental insurance. Any age can apply. To confirm you have no dental coverage through work or a pension, look at box 45 on your T4 or box 015 on your T4A: a "1" means no dental coverage through that job or pension.

  2. Have this information ready

    Your Social Insurance Number, full name, date of birth, home and mailing address, and any government dental program you are already on. If you have a spouse or common-law partner, they need to send their own application to be covered.

  3. Apply online or by phone

    Apply online through My Service Canada Account or the online application on canada.ca, or call Service Canada at 1-833-537-4342.

  4. Bring your member ID to your visit

    Your enrolment letter shows your member ID, your coverage start date and your co-payment level. Bring the letter or your Sun Life member card, and make sure your appointment is on or after your coverage start date. You do not need to wait for the card to arrive: the member ID on the letter is enough.
