About MyEligible

Canada's benefits are spread across federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal systems. Each program has its own rules, forms, dates, and official source. Finding a useful starting point can take hours, especially during a disability, job loss, caregiving change, arrival in Canada, or other period of financial pressure.

MyEligible models about 1316+ federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal benefits and supports across Canada's 13 jurisdictions, with municipal detail for 230 communities. It is built for individuals and the organizations that support them.

People can use MyEligible for themselves. Service organizations, counsellors, employers, health teams, settlement agencies, municipalities, and non-profits can also use it as an early navigation aid before more specialized advice.

MyEligible is free to use. There are no user fees, no advertising, no paid program placement, and no sale of quiz answers or personal information. It is maintained as an independent public-interest project.

The public site is available in Canadian English and French. Accuracy and natural wording take priority over adding languages quickly.

MyEligible uses a deterministic rules engine: the same answers produce the same results. Calculations and guidance are coded from published federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal rules, not generated from machine-learning guesses or paid placement.

The quiz runs in your browser and keeps the current profile in that tab's session storage. The default copied results link shares a minimized results snapshot, not your full answers. A separate optional profile-sharing link contains encoded answers, not encrypted answers, and should be used only when you intend to share them.

Every benefit links to an official page or form. Open the sources and methodology page for the bibliography, review approach, and last-verified information behind rules and amounts.

Results and amounts are estimates based on the answers provided and the published rules available. Only the responsible government or administering organization can make a final eligibility or payment decision.

An optional pathway can show First Nations, Inuit, and Métis programs without asking MyEligible to verify status, registration, or band membership. You can also browse the Indigenous supports directory.

No account is required, and MyEligible does not create a server-side user profile from quiz answers. Functional browser storage keeps language, accessibility settings, and the current quiz session available on your device.

Privacy-limited analytics records allowlisted events and broad categories, not exact quiz values or a full answer profile. MyEligible does not sell personal information, run advertising, or track people across websites.

Read the privacy policy and the sources and methodology page for the full details.

MyEligible targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA and includes keyboard navigation, visible focus, semantic controls, high contrast, larger text, Atkinson Hyperlegible, and reduced-motion support.

The accessibility statement lists what is tested, known limitations, planned improvements, and how to report a barrier or request another format.

Organizations can link to MyEligible's quiz, tools, and guides or use them during client and employee support. No account or integration is required.

Useful contexts include benefits navigation, credit counselling, health and social-service intake, settlement support, financial education, and workplace assistance.

MyEligible is an early navigation aid, not a replacement for a caseworker, tax professional, lawyer, health professional, or government decision-maker.

MyEligible is maintained in Edmonton, Alberta, as an independent, volunteer-led public-interest project.

Mission-aligned support and partnerships are welcome when they help keep the service free and useful without changing its editorial, eligibility, source, accessibility, or privacy standards.

Independence commitments

• Eligibility calculations are never influenced by partners or funders.

MyEligible focuses on benefits and supports for individuals and families. Blockfeed Funding is a separate free Canadian funding navigator for businesses, nonprofits, community organizations, and other applicants looking for grants and public funding. The two sites are separate tools with separate data.
