Do not worry, you can get back about $20 per day. I have applied before, not exactly $20, but very little less than that. So you can go ahead to have your kid in that daycare.

Thank you sweety.

Do they have any family income limitation? For example, the family income must below 2,5000.00?

We can apply it only through Quebec or Federal? Is it credit? Or it is just a kind of deductible for your income tax?

When I applied the day care reimbursement, both me and my husband were studying in universities. So we had no income except some bursaries and very little interest income from our saving account. So your question about lower of $25,000, I really have no idea.
But as my understanding, this benefit is offering to all the parents living in Quebec, no matter how much money they earn. Even my colleagues who must have salary over that amount can enjoy that benefit. So i think it should not matter your reimbursement if you have a job which can give you more than $25,000 a year.
Second, that is a real reimbursement given by Revenue Quebec, it is not a credit. But if you should pay tax, maybe they will use this reimbursement against the tax you should pay. That is all what I know.

The form for applying the reimbursement is not particular, it is combined with the Quebec tax return book you get from government. I remember it was just in front of that book.
If you do not find it, just write a simple notification, decribe how much you had been paid for your kid, remember to ask for a tax slip ffrom the owner of your kid's daycare as an attachment.
I remember the slip is RL-26 or something. On that slip, the owner showed how much you paid for your kid for how long. Also on that slip, the owner has to show his or her S/N, address, daycare name etc.
So if the owner of the daycare can not issue that tax slip to you, that means he or she is doing something illegal.
So, I wish I explain the thing clearly this time.
