Canadian Armed Forces members
Do you serve in the Regular or Reserve Force? Are you a member of a military family?
If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, you may be eligible for certain services, benefits, and programs. We offer information to help you determine if you qualify for them. We frequently add or update information, so check back often. If you can’t find the information specific to your situation or need help, contact us.
This page presents information which may be applicable to a specific Regular or Reserve Force component or sub-component. Be sure to contact the appropriate DND/CAF authority to confirm your program, service, or benefit eligibility.
