Government Programs

The Canadian government administers programs that offer short- or long-term financial aid that could help if you or a loved one becomes sick and/or disabled.

Provincial governments administer financial aid programs that may be of help if you or a loved one becomes disabled or if you don’t have the means and income to pay for basic living costs such as food, clothing, and shelter (social assistance).
