Dental Services for low-income families

Dental Services for immigrants and refugees
During the settlement period, the refugee or immigrant might be eligible for the Interim Health Benefit Program. There is an application process for this program, and if eligible the individual is issued an IHBP card that verifies the coverage. The eligibility period is generally until the person has acquired provincial or territorial status, usually 3 months after applying. Details of the services covered and the process are available from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/

It is possible to apply for an extension to the IHBP (application form for extension available from http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5564E.PDF )
After the initial settlement period, the families might qualify for the other provincial programs or clinics listed on this page.
