  • What does this site do?

    The Canada Benefits Web site provides information about federal, provincial, and territorial benefits programs for individuals. To learn more about us, you may wish to read About Us.

    How do I use this Web site?

    Information on the Canada Benefits Web site is organized in a variety of ways, to make it easy for you to find information about government benefits and services. You can choose from the following:
    I Am and Life Events

    The choices listed under "I Am" and "Life Events" provide a quick list of benefits. Just click on the category ("Parent," "Unemployment," etc.) that best applies to you. If there is more than one choice that applies to you, start by choosing one. Once you're done with your first choice, return to the home page to make your second choice.

    Benefits Finder

    The Benefits Finder is a question and answer tool that helps you find benefits that you might be eligible for. Answer the questions, and the Benefits Finder will give you a customized list of benefits that match your answers.

    The Benefits Finder does not ask for your name, and it does not save your answers.

    A-Z Benefits Index

    The A-Z Benefits Index is an alphabetical listing of all benefit programs listed on the Canada Benefits Web site. Simply click on a letter and select a keyword or a program from the list that appears. For example, if you're looking for the Canada Pension Plan you can click "C" for "Canada Pension Plan," or you can click "P" and look under "Pension."

    Keyword Search

    You can use the keyword search feature to find specific benefit programs. You can use either the quick search or the advanced search.

    To use the quick search, type one or more keywords into the search box on the upper left of your screen.

    To use the advanced search, click the black "Search" button on the top navigation bar.

    I'm having technical problems; what should I do?

    If you're experiencing technical problems during your visit to the Canada Benefits Web site, or if you'd like some help using the site, call our toll-free service line at 1 888 839 0025.
