About the Benefits Finder

The Benefits Finder helps you discover benefits and services that you might qualify for from Canadian, provincial and territorial governments.

How we’re improving the way people find benefits

Over the years, many things have changed, including what Canadians need and expect from Canada.ca. While the Benefits Finder has undergone some updates, it's mostly stayed the same.

Our research revealed that:

  • people often seek specific benefits
  • people search for benefits related to life events
  • people desire the ability to refine or edit responses without restarting
  • provincial and territorial websites offer more current information on benefits and services
  • people were puzzled by provincial and territorial benefits on a Government of Canada website

Based on our research findings, we’re building a new Benefits Finder that is updated, easy to use, and has a modern look and feel.

Key features include:

  • benefit search functionality
  • refined results using filters like life events and topics
  • summaries of the benefits
  • exclusively federal benefits

We’re working to make it easier to search for government benefits. To create a tool that meets your needs, we need your input.
