Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a new federal programme designed to help eligible residents access affordable dental care. If you’re moving to Canada, it’s important to understand whether you qualify and how to apply once you arrive.

The CDCP provides financial support for essential dental services such as exams, cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and other basic treatments. The goal is to make dental care more accessible for people with lower or modest incomes.

Who is eligible?

To qualify, you must:

Be a resident of Canada
Have an adjusted family net income below the government’s threshold
Not have access to private dental insurance

Business Number (BN) for businesses and self-employed workers

If you plan to run a business in Canada even as a sole trader you may need a Business Number (BN). This is a federal identifier issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for tax and business-related activities.

You may require a BN if you:

Register a business
Hire employees
Import or export goods
Collect GST/HST
Open certain business bank accounts

The BN links you to business-related programmes such as:

GST/HST accounts
Payroll deductions
Corporate income tax
Import/export accounts

Common questions about moving to Canada

Here are some of the most frequent questions people ask when preparing to move to Canada.
If you’re unsure about anything, our team is always here to help

No. You can only apply for your SIN after you arrive in Canada. However, preparing your documents in advance helps you complete the application quickly once you’re there.

Most SIN applications are processed within a few days, especially if submitted online. In-person applications at a Service Canada Centre may be issued on the same day.

You can accept a job offer, but you cannot start working until you have your SIN. Employers are legally required to collect it for tax purposes.

It depends on your situation.

You may need a Work Permit, Working Holiday Visa (IEC), or a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) if you studied in Canada. We help you understand the right option for your plans.

You’ll need valid ID that proves your identity and your legal status in Canada, such as your work permit, study permit, or visitor record.

Yes, but only if you plan to operate a business or work as self-employed. Most newcomers don’t need a BN unless they are starting a business.
