Where can we leave our children while studying?

Hi,

Anybody here entered Canada under student visa and brought with you your spouse and children? Where do you usually leave them if you have work?

You will have to pay for your children to be cared for by a caregiver or daycare. Fees vary from city to city (more expensive in big cities). Costs can be as much as $1K-$2K per child per month.

It's not hard to find daycare around. Will cost you 1-1.5k a months. If every one in your family is working but you have low income, you may apply for gov child care subsidy (not completely sure if students are eligible , but I think the are, you will need to check).
