Health Care
The following is important information to help you through the process of finding good healthcare.
Finding a doctor
You should begin looking for one the moment you arrive in Canada. Contact YMCA Immigrant Settlement Services for a list of medical centres or doctors. This process may take some time, as there is usually a waiting list for doctors. While you wait for a family doctor, you can go to walk-in clinics, community health centres and hospitals.
You can contact these places to find a doctor:
