Newcomer questions

I want to keep my calls short and clear. Which questions helped you confirm whether a clinic was accepting, keeping a waitlist or offering another option?

A local settlement agency or community centre may be able to explain the provincial steps without providing medical advice.

The provincial registration page is a good starting point, and 211 may also know about local navigation supports.
