WooHoo! Referral Received and Information Session Booked!
Hi Blue, Not sure if I can help much, I am new at all this too. It sounds to me like your referral did not go to Humber, and that it went to Toronto Western. You are booked for the the same Orientation Session I am, just at another hospital. I think it is the mandatory session everyone must attend before moving on.
Hope this helps,

Hi B, looks like they scheduled you for orientation at a different location. TWH is right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Its where I am going through the process. TWH also has been amazing for me as far as getting in on a cancellation, and providing you an earlier date, in fact they encourage you to call and inquire, and they always got back to me within a few hours if I left a voicemail.
You do not need to bring anything with you to the TWH orientation, just be prepared to pay for parking if driving, and it last about 2.5 hours. Let me know if you have any questions at all :)

Thanks B

They don't actually have a cancellation list at TWH, but if you call and inquire for an earlier orientation date, they will look for you and give you one if there are any available. They want to fill those empty spots too. I've found the staff there to be incredible and always helpful. The process has seemed to be pretty quick after orientation at TWH, knock on wood ( don't want to jinx it) Good luck!

Hi Kelly,
It wasn't a list, but where they are asking about medical history, and tests you have had, there is a line beside to bring photocopies of certain tests and procedures, and unfortunately I have had a lot of them. I am hoping my doctors office will be able to photocopy everything I need from my chart.
