Are you asking because you are self-pay??? I have heard that it ia harder to get surgery done in Canada....I am not sure if it is true or not. If you are looking to self-pay, you might want to check out the South of the Border Forum. I am self pay and am paying $6900.00. Good luck to you!!!!

Depends on your province as to whether it's covered under provincial health insurance. In Ontario, it is completely covered, however there are LONG waits for consults and surgery. (Long as in 3+ years.) There is a Yahoo list for Canadians at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ossg-Canada/ If you have any questions, you can email me directly at [email protected]
