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

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.

Since you’re Frenchie L’immigrant here is an article dated 2021 about Québec’s family doctor waiting list:

Dis ce que tu veux mon ami, mais je suis inscrit au "guichet accès santé" depuis que ça existe, et je n'ai jamais eu de médecins de famille.
