3. You can still qualify for this even if you are covered by the Provincial Government...

From the article:

"Applicants who have access to dental benefits through a program offered by a province, territory or the federal government can still apply for the CDCP if they meet all eligibility criteria, they said."

I meet all the criteria but I have a private insurance plan I pay for that covers dental as well as being covered by the Alberta government plan so it looks like I'm out of luck on this one.

From the article:

"Canadians who have access to dental insurance are not eligible to apply for the CDCP. According to the government of Canada's website, this includes individuals who:

Have dental insurance through their employer or a family member's employer benefits, including health and wellness accounts.
Have dental insurance through their pension from a previous employer or a family member's pension benefits.
Have dental insurance purchased by themselves, by a family member or through a group plan from an insurance or benefits company."
