Caring for a child

If you are a Nunavut resident in need of skills training or upgrading, the Adult Learning and Training Support (ALTS) program can help fund some of your expenses including tuition, books and materials, special equipment, disability support, childcare, and other expenses.

The Daycare Subsidy program provides financial support to low-income families to make childcare more affordable for parents pursuing education or training opportunities outside the home.

The Young Parents Stay Learning program provides financial support to young parents with the cost of childcare while the parent attends school.

If you are a dependent child under 25 and your parent is living with a disability or they die, you may be able to get a monthly payment from this benefit if your parent was getting Canada Pension Plan benefits. If you live in Quebec, you should refer to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) instead, and contact Retraite Québec if you have any questions.

This benefit provides a monthly, tax-free benefit for families who care for a child under age 18 with a severe and prolonged physical or mental disability.

The Connecting Families Initiative assist eligible families get affordable monthly home internet package from $10 per month.
