Check now →Most Canadian benefit and immigration eligibility decisions come down to the same five inputs: residency status, age, income, family composition, and time in Canada. Our tools collect only what's needed for the specific check — for example, the CGEB checker doesn't ask about your immigration status, but the CRS calculator does.
For benefits administered by the CRA (CGEB, CCB, GST/HST credit, climate action incentive), the actual eligibility decision happens automatically when you file your tax return — there's no separate application. Our checkers preview the result so you know what to expect, and surface forms like RC151 if you need to register before filing your first return.
For immigration programs administered by IRCC, you'll need to submit an actual application after running the checker. Our tools help you decide whether it's worth the application fee (Express Entry alone is $1,365 per adult).
