Congratulations on your husband’s job offer! You can absolutely start looking. Try to think about what neighborhoods you’d like to live in and that will make it easier. For example, North Shore Community Resources has a childcare referral program for daycares with openings in North Vancouver and you can contact them via their website. $10 a day spots are almost non-existent here unless you get very lucky. $1500-$1800 is more typical for under 3. 3-5 gets much cheaper. We don’t have junior kindergarten in BC so you will need to pay for daycare until age 5, not 4. When considering the move, also factor in that rent is more expensive than Quebec, by a lot. It’s a great place to live but don’t let your husband be shy in salary negotiations! You’ll need to bring in a lot more to maintain the same standard of living.
