BC guidance is to start looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, as demand significantly outpaces supply across Metro Vancouver. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple facilities, and experts recommend applying to 15 to 20 centres minimum in the Metro Vancouver area.
