FYI, that means 15% of Canadians don’t have a doctor.

    I’m in QC and on the waiting list for 10 years. What is a family doctor? It’s unknown here. And even if you have one you cannot see him before 3 or 4 weeks, so you go to the ER or private doctor

      No doctor going on 6 years. The CLSC nurses have always seen me within a week; then I get an RV with a specialist within 3 weeks.

      Would a doctor be nice? Yes. Does the CLSC system work for me? Also yes.

      I’m guessing this varies wildly based on CLSC though.

      Magistral BS. There is no 10 years waiting list FYI but since you’re allegedly on the list it would take you 36 hours to see a doctor following the GAP procedure and not 3 or 4 weeks as you say. You gotta be an impetuous out of province newcomer lost in and Québec bashing for no reason but justifying your ignorance.
