Canadian Dental Care Plan
Disruption of Canada Post services – strike paused
Canada Post operations have resumed. Tentative agreements have been reached, and Canada Post and its union have agreed not to engage in any strike or lockout activity until the ratification process is complete. Consult the measures in place during a disruption of Canada Post services.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is helping make the cost of dental care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents.

Beware of scams
The CDCP will never ask you to pay to apply or renew your coverage. Be careful of scams sent by mail, phone calls, text messages, or emails that ask for your personal, banking or credit card information. Watch out for ads and pop-ups that take you to websites that are not Government of Canada ones.
