Incorrect. From the T778 (Child Care claim form):
Child care expenses
Child care expenses are amounts you or another person (as
described under "Who can claim child care expenses?") paid to have
someone look after an eligible child so that you or the other person
could:
earn income from employment;
carry on a business either alone or as an active partner;
attend school under the conditions identified under "Educational
program" on this page; or
carry on research or similar work, for which you or the other
person received a grant.
