Default Moving to Canada- Questions

Hello all!
My hubby just got a job in Ottawa, so we will be moving there at the end of the summer from the U.S. We would like to start fertility treatments as soon as we get there, but I have no idea how the health insurance works there. Does anyone know if there is usually a wait to be seen at a fertility clinic? Do you first need a referral? I think I would respond well to clomid (that's what my previous doctor said) and my HSG was fine.

I am most worried about the wait to start treatments as I have been reading that there can be a long wait to see specialists. We have been trying for 5 years with no treatments, and we are finally ready to try medications besides Metformin.

Also, we are deciding on whether to live in Gatineau or Ottawa. I know these are in different provinces and sometimes the infertility benefits are different. Anyone know which one, if either, is better?

Thank you so much in advance if anyone has any info. I am nervous about the whole thing.
Julie
