Answer 5 quick questions

cancheck asks about your household to narrow down what you might qualify for. The questions are plain-language — no government forms, no complicated criteria.

Many schemes are citizen- or PR-only

What type of housing do you live in?

Flat type is often an eligibility factor

What is your total household monthly income?

Most schemes have income ceilings

Who lives with you in the household?

Household composition affects many schemes

One or two situation-specific questions

Depends on what you selected in Step 1

Nothing you enter is stored or transmitted.
