📢 On June 16th, 2026, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced upcoming changes to the Disability Tax Credit ( ) application process that will impact the way you are able to submit an application.

Key dates to note 👇:

- July 14, 2026: You will no longer be able to use the “Submit Documents” section in your CRA account to send DTC applications or related documents, unless the CRA specifically requests additional information. You must send your DTC application to the CRA using the digital DTC application form or by mail.

- September 8, 2026: Older versions of Form T2201 (issued before 2023) will no longer be accepted, as they do not meet the updated requirements. You will need to submit a new application if the version of your form is from before 2023.

The House of Commons and Senate will receive a report this week on whether to expand assisted su***de in Canada.

MAID in Canada: Two Different Pathways.

Most people in Canada believe MAiD is only available for people at the end of life.

But Canada’s law includes a second tier – for people with disabilities and only them -who are not dying.

Learn more about why 90 organizations such as Inclusion Canada are raising concerns about the possibility of a further expansion of Track 2 to include mental health as a specific underlining eligibility condition.
