Meemee - I never did get a letter.  I had orientation on Oct 3 - called them on Oct 4 left a message that I was interested in continuing, called a few weeks later - told to wait, called end of Nov - told me they didn't have me on the list, called mid December - said they sent the letter, called after Christmas - said I missed 2 appointments and was removed from the list.  

At THAT point - I told her I was not gettng off the phone without an appt.  My first appt was Feb 1.

Keep calling......

I'd be thrilled to only wait 2 months for appointment letters!!!  Did orientation in Ottawa the first Friday in November, and still have no other appointments in the works.  By the looks of other Ottawa customers timelines,  I'll be waiting at least another 6 months to hear anything!

So I just talked to Vanessa and she told me the letter would arrive in about 2 months.  Yes, I am a bit disappointed--in the orientation they told us that typically people have between 2 to 6 months from orientation till surgery--but I will try to be patient.  Going to put reminders in my google calendar to call to check progress in about 6 weeks.  Fingers crossed that she only told us 2 months so that we are pleasantly surprised when the letter comes sooner!!!!!!!!
