Just a quick question. We have a son who is 3+ year old toddler. I went through the Canada education system where it has mentioned the formal school starts from the age of 5. Till then we will have to be joining him in a play group or day care where he will be taken care of. As, we both (me n my hubby) will be hunting jobs or will be going for a job either scenarios in Canada.
If there any parents out there who had gone through such situations please guide us, it would be helpful. My questions are,
1. Are the daycare centers are expensive?
2. Or are the play groups are expensive?
3. Does the government provide any assistance to the immigrants who migrate with younger children?

Well, I landed in Winnipeg, Manitoba and this province has a program under which around 500-600 CAD is deposited on your account on the name of child development something. I have not applied yet however the SIN officers told me about that since I have a 4 year old daughter.
So this 500 - 600 is deposited to our account every month? Orelse at the begining alone? Was it easy to manage the expense without a job at the begining?

I booked an AirBnB here for 2 weeks since I did not know anyone here local.
In those 2 weeks I made a friend who helped me in leasing an apartment. Apartments are mostly given to those who have jobs in hand else should search basements or house on rent.
If you know someone, better put up in his house for some time before finalizing your renting place or finding job.
Things vary greatly based on where you live. In Toronto or Vancouver you are looking at over $1500/month for daycare. Yes you currently get child tax benefit based on your income to help with costs. That can always change based on the government in power.

You should have prior contacts here in Canada. And track if there is an opportunity coming up or getting vacant. I was tracking that from past 6 months.
