To get on a provincial waiting list, you should follow these steps:

• Receive a referral from your physician.
• Contact a transplant hospital. Learn as much as possible about the transplant hospitals in Canada and choose one based on your needs, including insurance, location, finances and support group availability.
• Schedule an appointment for evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for transplant.
• The hospital’s transplant team will decide whether you are a good transplant candidate. Once deemed a good candidate, you will be added to a provincial waiting list.
