The Government of Canada will begin its annual reassessment of the eligibility of individuals currently covered under the plan to confirm that they continue to meet all eligibility requirements.  

Canadians currently covered under the plan will need to renew their coverage and will be able to do so once they have completed their 2024 tax return and received their Notice of Assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency. They will also receive a personalized letter from the Government of Canada informing them that they must renew, with instructions on how.  

To avoid a potential gap in coverage, renewals must be done by the CDCP member (or a delegate) prior to June 1, 2025. CDCP members who miss the renewal deadline will still be able to renew but may face a gap in coverage; retroactive coverage will not be possible.  

Upon successful renewal, CDCP members who continue to be eligible for the CDCP will receive a confirmation letter outlining their eligibility along with their new coverage start date and any changes to their co-payment (if applicable), as their co-payment level will now be based on their 2024 adjusted family net income.  

Those who are no longer eligible to the CDCP or do not renew will have their CDCP coverage end on June 30, 2025. Letters informing them of the end of their coverage will be sent by the Government of Canada.
