My file was complete with Dr Brassard on 1 December, although being a member of the military meant my documentation followed two paths at the same time.
I tried following up with the staff but it took a week before I got through. I ended up talking to Nata who is responsible for the administration of Ontario based patients. There should be other regional based staff so you'll get through to someone who knows your provincial regulations. I can't speak for any part of what is covered or not, so you should ask them.
As for scheduling, be patient I was told. First the administration staff completely validate the required package in accordance with Dr Brassard's info sheets. Once it's validated as complete, the file is sent to the nursing staff who confirm your health based upon the various reports and your personal situation. I was told by Nata that a patient who has no health issues to address or mitigate will be sent to the surgical staff for scheduling based upon availability. If there are additional health issues like weight, diabetes, heart, liver, etc. problems, then additional confirmation from specialists will be needed. Only when the file gets to the surgical staff will they look at a date for you.
Generally for healthy patients it is a first come first serve queue based upon completed and submitted package. The time in between each step varies depending everything from holidays, to construction, to your health. So from Nata's informajton and that which I've garnered from friends who've been through Montréal, it will be about 2 months from your submission date to get a date, and then another 2 - 3 months for the surgery. I know that GRS Montréal has been renovating and increasing capacity, so anything can change.
Much like I recently accepted....even if I don't have a date....every day I live brings me another day closer to a complete me.
Good luck! Maybe we'll be surgery sisters?!
