Hey Brewster,
Yes I live in Calgary, Alberta and the procedure would be totally covered by Alberta Health Care. I'm not sure if your province would cover another provincial surgical procedure. But I'm sure you would have a lot more success for coverage instead of overseas or in the States.
I've never heard of anyone getting reimbursed by our health care system for out of country procedures, UNLESS, emergencies happen while abroad, especially if you have work insurance.
You can look up Calio health online and there is everything you need right there. Dr Bouchard has a profile on the site and everything.
