godG: For minor health problems (flu symptoms, immunizations, minor infections etc) I go to walk-in clinics if I can't wait to see my family Dr. I usually find the less busy ones near me, with less wait times. If serious/emergency, I'd go to the ER. You will be attended to according to the severity of your illness. Heard the ERs are not busy these days though (people don dey fear hospitals), so you should be seen fairly quickly. Speedy recovery. 8 Likes |

godG: Thanks for asking the original question, I've often wondered myself if there is a "private" medical sector in Canada. My frame of reference was the UK (not even the US or Nigeria and absolutely nothing to do with being elitist ![]() Apparently this is a long standing debate and gets tempers flaring ![]() https://www.capitaldaily.ca/news/private-two-tier-healthcare-brian-day-bc SlowlybtSurely: Thanks for this. 2 Likes |

godG: I apologize. That wasn't my intention. I'm trying to let everyone know, if you have an capitalist/elite attitude, throw that out the door once you get to Canada. It doesn't work here. You know you have to book through your doctor or go to a walk in. If that's not possible, then go straight to a hospital which is open 24/7 with 1st world medical equipment. What do you mean "so much for free healthcare" ? Why are you talking about how you had such an amazing healthcare insurance where you had access to a doctor 24/7 ? It seems like waiting your turn, based on the seriousness of your illness was disturbing you. Lastly, you have a lawyer in naija. His greatest concern is doing a "dirty job" in Canada. Not leaving Nigeria, a country that allows their police and military to kill its citizens. A country where 70% of its citizens live in poverty. Doing a dirty job in Canada is his major concerns. A country where nobody cares who you are or what you do for a living. I'm just saying for everyone about to come to Canada. Leave that nasty capitalist/elite attitude behind. 8 Likes 1 Share |

einsteino: They usually Marry themselves. So they'll have a household income of like 200k dollars per year. When I meet an older Nigerian, I usually direct them to jobs like this. |

Would you be exporting your vehicle? If so I can send you a link with things to do before crossing the border. If you're driving a rental, there's nothing much to know, it'd be the same process as coming in through the airport except you'd have to exit the car and go into the building for processing. wizzzz: 1 Like |

I'm sorry but this is impossible to answer. Your best bet is to call and get an agent to give you an update on your application if possible. You can also use one of those immigration tracking softwares to see how others with your AOR are faring, that'd give you an idea. hairbyuj: |

godG: I've never had issues seeing a doctor, emergency or not. And I'm a mother with children. If I want to see my family doctor, I can call and get an appointment. Otherwise I can walk into her clinic and see any random doctor. I can also walk into any of the 8-10 clinics within a 10 minute drive from me. The walk in clinics are run by doctors. Funny enough the doctors at the hospitals also work as clinics. They're running their clinics, just that the clinic is located in the hospital. I can call 811 24/7 to find out if I even need to go to a clinic. I can call 911 and be rushed to the hospital. I can do phone consultation with my family doctor. And I can go to the ER even when it's not an emergency. In Alberta, if you're low income your children will have access to an even wider range of free care. Canada operates a universal healthcare system that doesn't discriminate based on income. The country prides itself on this, and the US system is considered a disgrace because those who can't afford insurance, are sidelined healthwise. When everyone has to utilize the same system, then the rich and influential will ensure the system works. 21 Likes 5 Shares |
