On the other hand, the City of Toronto’s <strong>Child Care Fee Subsidy<\/strong> is an additional, income-based benefit that can lower the cost even further — down to zero for lower-income families.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, this does not mean a flat $10\/day fee.<\/strong> Currently, for eligible children in participating CWELCC child care, the base fee is capped at no more than <strong>$22\/day<\/strong>, with a provincial average of roughly <strong>$19\/day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"related\">\n<p class=\"related-label\">Related BRS Solutions Services<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/#accounting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accounting & Benefits<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/#docs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Documents & Consular Services<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact BRS Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BRS Solutions Home<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">The Basics<\/span>\n<h2>Two Supports That Work Together<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body\">The most common confusion is thinking there is a single “child care benefit.” In reality, there are two distinct programs that can stack. Therefore, understanding the difference is what decides how much you will pay.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead><tr><th>Program<\/th><th>What It Is<\/th><th>How You Get It<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>CWELCC<\/td><td>Reduces the base child care fee for eligible children in participating licensed programs<\/td><td>Automatic for eligible children — parents do not file a separate application for the reduction<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Child Care Fee Subsidy<\/td><td>Helps eligible families pay child care costs; the amount depends on family situation and income<\/td><td>You must apply to the local service system manager; in Toronto, through the City of Toronto<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tip\">💡 <strong>The programs are different, but they can work together.<\/strong> In other words, an eligible child can have their base fee reduced by CWELCC, and the family may also qualify for the Child Care Fee Subsidy, subject to eligibility criteria.<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">Reduced Child Care Fees in Ontario<\/span>\n<h2>How CWELCC Works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body\">CWELCC is an agreement between the federal and provincial governments created to reduce the cost of participating licensed child care in Ontario. Currently, for eligible children in participating CWELCC programs, the base fee is no more than <strong>$22 per day<\/strong>, while the provincial average sits at roughly <strong>$19 per day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>You may be entitled to the CWELCC reduction if<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body\">Generally, you qualify when:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"arrows\">\n<li>Your child is <strong>under 6 years old<\/strong> (there are specific rules for children who turn 6 during the year)<\/li>\n<li>The child care is <strong>licensed<\/strong> and <strong>participates in CWELCC<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The child care fee is higher than $12 per day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"alert\">✅ <strong>You do not need to apply for CWELCC.<\/strong> In other words, if the child care participates in the program and the child is eligible, the reduction is applied by the child care itself. Even so, confirm directly with the child care that it takes part in the program.<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">The City Subsidy<\/span>\n<h2>How the Child Care Fee Subsidy Works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body\">The Child Care Fee Subsidy helps eligible families with the cost of licensed child care programs in Toronto for children up to 12 years old. Unlike the CWELCC reduction, the Fee Subsidy requires an application and has eligibility criteria, including income and a need for child care. In addition, there is a waitlist, so the City recommends applying as early as possible.<\/p>\n\n<h3>You can apply if<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"arrows\">\n<li>Your family <strong>lives in Toronto<\/strong> or is moving to Toronto<\/li>\n<li>Each parent\/guardian is <strong>working, studying or planning to study<\/strong> — or there is an additional support need for the guardian or the child<\/li>\n<li>Each parent\/guardian has <strong>filed the income tax return<\/strong> for the most recent tax year*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"font-size:0.88rem;color:var(--muted);\">*Keep in mind that there are exceptions in certain cases, such as newcomers who arrived in Canada during the current year.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"tip\">💡 The amount a family pays depends on income. For this reason, the City of Toronto provides a <em>Child Care Fee Subsidy Calculator<\/em> to check an estimate of eligibility and of the daily amount the family may pay.<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">Step by Step<\/span>\n<h2>How to Apply for the Child Care Subsidy<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"arrows\">\n<li><strong>1. Estimate first.<\/strong> First, use the City of Toronto’s <em>Fee Subsidy Calculator<\/em> to check whether your family may be eligible and estimate how much you could pay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Submit the application.<\/strong> Next, the application can be completed online through the City of Toronto. However, if you receive Ontario Works, you should contact your caseworker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Join the waitlist.<\/strong> After applying, you receive an email confirming your place on the <strong>Child Care Fee Subsidy waitlist<\/strong>, including your entry date and Client File Number. Therefore, keep that email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4. Wait for the caseworker to reach out.<\/strong> Once your name reaches the top of the list, a caseworker will contact you to set up a meeting, verify your eligibility and guide you through the child care options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5. Set up My Child Care Account and send documents.<\/strong> At this stage, the caseworker helps you register the <strong>My Child Care Account (MCCA)<\/strong>. Currently, to create or link the account, you need to obtain an <strong>Access Code<\/strong> and have your <strong>Client File Number<\/strong>. That way, the requested documents can be submitted securely through the MCCA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6. Assessment and subsidy offer.<\/strong> Finally, at the assessment, if all criteria are met, the family officially receives the Child Care Fee Subsidy offer and a period to find a suitable child care option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"alert\">⚠️ <strong>There is a waitlist.<\/strong> For this reason, the City recommends applying as early as possible. In fact, you can apply as soon as you know you are expecting a child, including during pregnancy or an adoption process.<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"community\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"font-size:0.98rem;color:var(--dark);font-weight:600;margin-bottom:14px;\">Not sure where to start or which documents to gather?

The City of Toronto’s Child Care Fee Subsidy, by contrast, is an additional, income-based benefit that can reduce the cost even further — including to zero for lower-income families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>Is there a maximum income for the subsidy?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>There is no maximum income to qualify. In other words, the parent contribution is zero for family income below $20,000; above that, in turn, it rises in percentages according to income.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>I am a newcomer and haven’t filed taxes yet. Can I apply?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>Yes. That is because newcomers who have not yet filed taxes in Canada, or guardians under 18, may apply without the most recent Notice of Assessment. In that case, the City provides guidance on alternative income documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>Does the subsidy cover children over 6?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>Yes. The City subsidy covers licensed child care for children up to 12 years old, including before- and after-school programs. The CWELCC reduction, by contrast, is only for children under 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>How does BRS Solutions help with this process?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>We help you organize documents, understand eligibility and complete the application correctly, in Portuguese.

On the other hand, the City of Toronto’s <strong>Child Care Fee Subsidy<\/strong> is an additional, income-based benefit that can lower the cost even further — down to zero for lower-income families.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, this does not mean a flat $10\/day fee.<\/strong> Currently, for eligible children in participating CWELCC child care, the base fee is capped at no more than <strong>$22\/day<\/strong>, with a provincial average of roughly <strong>$19\/day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"related\">\n<p class=\"related-label\">Related BRS Solutions Services<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/#accounting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accounting & Benefits<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/#docs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Documents & Consular Services<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact BRS Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/brssolutions.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BRS Solutions Home<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">The Basics<\/span>\n<h2>Two Supports That Work Together<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body\">The most common confusion is thinking there is a single “child care benefit.” In reality, there are two distinct programs that can stack. Therefore, understanding the difference is what decides how much you will pay.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead><tr><th>Program<\/th><th>What It Is<\/th><th>How You Get It<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>CWELCC<\/td><td>Reduces the base child care fee for eligible children in participating licensed programs<\/td><td>Automatic for eligible children — parents do not file a separate application for the reduction<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Child Care Fee Subsidy<\/td><td>Helps eligible families pay child care costs; the amount depends on family situation and income<\/td><td>You must apply to the local service system manager; in Toronto, through the City of Toronto<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tip\">💡 <strong>The programs are different, but they can work together.<\/strong> In other words, an eligible child can have their base fee reduced by CWELCC, and the family may also qualify for the Child Care Fee Subsidy, subject to eligibility criteria.<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">Reduced Child Care Fees in Ontario<\/span>\n<h2>How CWELCC Works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body\">CWELCC is an agreement between the federal and provincial governments created to reduce the cost of participating licensed child care in Ontario. Currently, for eligible children in participating CWELCC programs, the base fee is no more than <strong>$22 per day<\/strong>, while the provincial average sits at roughly <strong>$19 per day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>You may be entitled to the CWELCC reduction if<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body\">Generally, you qualify when:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"arrows\">\n<li>Your child is <strong>under 6 years old<\/strong> (there are specific rules for children who turn 6 during the year)<\/li>\n<li>The child care is <strong>licensed<\/strong> and <strong>participates in CWELCC<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The child care fee is higher than $12 per day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"alert\">✅ <strong>You do not need to apply for CWELCC.<\/strong> In other words, if the child care participates in the program and the child is eligible, the reduction is applied by the child care itself. Even so, confirm directly with the child care that it takes part in the program.<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">The City Subsidy<\/span>\n<h2>How the Child Care Fee Subsidy Works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body\">The Child Care Fee Subsidy helps eligible families with the cost of licensed child care programs in Toronto for children up to 12 years old. Unlike the CWELCC reduction, the Fee Subsidy requires an application and has eligibility criteria, including income and a need for child care. In addition, there is a waitlist, so the City recommends applying as early as possible.<\/p>\n\n<h3>You can apply if<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"arrows\">\n<li>Your family <strong>lives in Toronto<\/strong> or is moving to Toronto<\/li>\n<li>Each parent\/guardian is <strong>working, studying or planning to study<\/strong> — or there is an additional support need for the guardian or the child<\/li>\n<li>Each parent\/guardian has <strong>filed the income tax return<\/strong> for the most recent tax year*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"font-size:0.88rem;color:var(--muted);\">*Keep in mind that there are exceptions in certain cases, such as newcomers who arrived in Canada during the current year.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"tip\">💡 The amount a family pays depends on income. For this reason, the City of Toronto provides a <em>Child Care Fee Subsidy Calculator<\/em> to check an estimate of eligibility and of the daily amount the family may pay.<\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"gold-rule\">\n\n<span class=\"eyebrow\">Step by Step<\/span>\n<h2>How to Apply for the Child Care Subsidy<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"arrows\">\n<li><strong>1. Estimate first.<\/strong> First, use the City of Toronto’s <em>Fee Subsidy Calculator<\/em> to check whether your family may be eligible and estimate how much you could pay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Submit the application.<\/strong> Next, the application can be completed online through the City of Toronto. However, if you receive Ontario Works, you should contact your caseworker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Join the waitlist.<\/strong> After applying, you receive an email confirming your place on the <strong>Child Care Fee Subsidy waitlist<\/strong>, including your entry date and Client File Number. Therefore, keep that email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4. Wait for the caseworker to reach out.<\/strong> Once your name reaches the top of the list, a caseworker will contact you to set up a meeting, verify your eligibility and guide you through the child care options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5. Set up My Child Care Account and send documents.<\/strong> At this stage, the caseworker helps you register the <strong>My Child Care Account (MCCA)<\/strong>. Currently, to create or link the account, you need to obtain an <strong>Access Code<\/strong> and have your <strong>Client File Number<\/strong>. That way, the requested documents can be submitted securely through the MCCA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6. Assessment and subsidy offer.<\/strong> Finally, at the assessment, if all criteria are met, the family officially receives the Child Care Fee Subsidy offer and a period to find a suitable child care option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"alert\">⚠️ <strong>There is a waitlist.<\/strong> For this reason, the City recommends applying as early as possible.

The City of Toronto’s Child Care Fee Subsidy, by contrast, is an additional, income-based benefit that can reduce the cost even further — including to zero for lower-income families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>Is there a maximum income for the subsidy?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>There is no maximum income to qualify. In other words, the parent contribution is zero for family income below $20,000; above that, in turn, it rises in percentages according to income.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>I am a newcomer and haven’t filed taxes yet. Can I apply?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>Yes. That is because newcomers who have not yet filed taxes in Canada, or guardians under 18, may apply without the most recent Notice of Assessment. In that case, the City provides guidance on alternative income documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"collapsible faq\">\n<summary>Does the subsidy cover children over 6?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"details-body\">\n<p>Yes. The City subsidy covers licensed child care for children up to 12 years old, including before- and after-school programs.
