Official government information, translated into plain language and organized by province — for future foster parents and those already fostering.
Written by foster parents · Official government sources · Data verified October 2026
Tell us where you live and what brings you here — we'll show you the rules, amounts, and contacts for your province, not generic advice.
What fostering is, the requirements common across Canada, the steps, and realistic timelines.
Our first complete guide: famille d'accueil and RTF, DPJ, payments, steps by region.
Amounts published by each province, with their dates — and an honest note when the government publishes nothing.
Regular, emergency, respite, kinship, customary care, banque mixte: find what fits you.
We have fostered for years ourselves. We translate bureaucratic jargon into human language.
Every fact comes from an official government page, linked with a visible verification date.
Amounts and rules change. We re-verify every province quarterly and date every update.
