I see that you transferred hospitals. I need to do this as I am moving. Can you please let me know how you did this and if you had to start the process over. I have been through all the steps and am just waiting to be 6 months binge free to get a date. I was told if I transfer I have to start back at the beginning.

Yes, I'm pretty sure when you transfer to a different hospital you need to start at the beginning. When I transferred I had only completed the orientation so it wasn't too big of a deal.
I only transferred briefly to Guelph for surgery but they transferred me back to TWH.
I think all you need to do is contact your centre. Not sure if you to start over or not b
