Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Federal Government Programs (Canadian)
OBS

Participants in training programs sponsored by the federal government who have young children requiring care are eligible for dependent care allowances of up to $20 per day. The rate does not vary across Canada. While the rate does not reflect the actual cost of care, the income supplement gives families the flexibility to make local arrangements.

OBS

The term "dependant", when used as a noun as is the case here, is more frequently written with an "a". "Dependent" with an "e" represents the adjective form.

  • Titres de programmes fédéraux (Gouvernement canadien)
OBS

Les personnes qui ont de jeunes enfants et participent à un programme de formation parrainé par le gouvernement fédéral peuvent recevoir une allocation allant jusqu'à 20 $ par jour pour en assurer la garde. L'allocation est fixe pour l'ensemble du Canada. Bien qu'il ne reflète pas le coût réel des services, ce supplément de revenu laisse une plus grande marge de manœuvre aux familles, leur permettant de prendre des dispositions localement.
