Childcare while job hunting, what worked? - 7 months and counting

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. How long did subsidies take?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
