CDCP application instructions updated
CDCP application instructions were updated to clarify spouse/partner applications, eligibility review steps, delegate proof, and the Quebec mailing address for submitted documents.
The Apply page now says a spouse or common-law partner must submit their own application to be covered under the CDCP, and it explains that spouse or partner information is used only to confirm marital status and calculate adjusted family net income. The page also adds post-acceptance eligibility review language, including mail notification and possible reimbursement if someone is found ineligible after coverage is paid, and it says a delegate must prove legal authority before applying on someone’s behalf. The Quebec mailing address for submitted documents changed from PO Box 60 Station Terminus, Québec, QC G1K 7L5 to PO Box 1816 Station Terminus, Québec, QC G1K 7L5.
