Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hospitals in Canada

Frequently Asked Questions

Canada's top hospitals include Toronto General Hospital (University Health Network) — ranked among the world's top 10 — Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, the Montreal Neurological Institute, Vancouver General Hospital, the Ottawa Heart Institute, and SickKids (Hospital for Sick Children). These institutions have international patient programs and are globally recognized for transplant surgery, oncology, cardiac care, and neurosciences.
International patients in Canada pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance, as Canada's public health system does not cover non-residents. Costs are comparable to the US for many procedures: a cardiac bypass may cost CAD 30,000–50,000, a hip replacement CAD 15,000–25,000, and a liver transplant CAD 100,000+. Despite similar pricing to the US, Canadian hospitals offer excellent outcomes and access to world-leading specialists.
Canada is a world leader in organ transplantation (especially lung, liver, and heart transplants), cardiac surgery, oncology and cancer research, neurosciences, pediatric medicine, and stem cell research. Toronto General Hospital pioneered the world's first successful single-lung transplant, and the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is ranked among the top five cancer research centers globally.
Many nationalities can visit Canada visa-free or with an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for stays up to 6 months. For citizens requiring a visa, Canada offers a Temporary Resident Visa. Hospitals can provide letters of medical necessity to support visa applications. Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, though expedited processing may be available for urgent medical cases.
Canada is officially bilingual in English and French. English is the primary language at hospitals in most provinces, while French predominates in Quebec. Major hospitals in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Ottawa have multilingual staff and interpreter services. Canada's multicultural workforce means many healthcare providers also speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Punjabi, Arabic, Spanish, and other languages.
