Here is how to get medical treatment in Canada, you move to a major city with a teaching hospital, for instance, Vancouver/UBC.
Look at the various medical boards and find out who is on those boards, when you get referred to a specialist insist on finding someone either on the board or connected to the board. Get those people to put you on the list, and constantly complain to them, they will get you moved up.
My personal experience is with my friend who wanted a nose job because his nose had been broken a few times, he happened to get a connected doctor and had a nose job within a week, his doctor relayed the aforementioned. My other experience is with heart surgery, my mother-in-law was having heart complications, in the suburbs they sent her home with nitro, and told her to come back in a week for some test. She lives in a retirement community so they have poor resources and lots of people needing those resources, especially for heart failure. She was still having pains so I insisted we take her to VGH, at VGH they took it very seriously, we got there about 11 PM and by 4 AM on a Saturday they had done a triple bypass with a surgeon who needed to be called in.
Morale of the story, in Canada you need to be near well funded hospitals with out a lot of old people around, or have connections. If you have a lot of people drawing on a limited resource you'll have to wait a long time in line.
