Frequently asked questions

Is BenefitCanada free?

You can start with a free preview without an account. Create a free account to see the full report, save it and track applications. Free accounts include 2 searches per 30 days. Optional Plus features are described on the Pricing page.

Is this a government website?

No. BenefitCanada is an independent service and is not affiliated with the Government of Canada or any province. You always apply directly with the official program.

How does the AI find benefits?

Our AI uses your questionnaire answers and a checklist of federal and provincial programs to suggest possible matches. When live web search is enabled, it also checks official websites. The report is a starting point, not an eligibility decision.

How accurate are the amounts?

Amounts are estimates based on your answers and the information available to the AI. Programs can change, and some supports cannot be combined. Each program links to its official page — always confirm eligibility and amounts there before applying.

What information do you need?

General details: province, age range, family, estimated income, housing and life situation. The questionnaire does not ask for your name, Social Insurance Number, date of birth or street address.

Is my information safe?

Your answers and reports are encrypted in our database. Answers are sent to our AI provider to generate your report, with response storage disabled. This does not mean zero retention by the provider. You can delete saved reports from your account; see our Privacy page for details.

Does it cover my province?

Yes — all 10 provinces and 3 territories, plus federal programs and many municipal and utility programs such as transit passes and bill assistance.

Can I get my report in French?

Yes. Choose Français on the questionnaire and your report is written in Canadian French.
