I'd love to visit sometime. 🙂 I probably wouldn't move there until after surgery, so I don't end up stuck in the BC system since sometime this year I'll get surgery through the AB system. Pretty much all of my friends are going through that started around the same time I did. I've been FT longer then several who are getting surgeries in April. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong that gets me delayed. But I try to look at the bright side: I moved to a new apartment with an awesome roommate. I'm hopefully getting a better and much higher-paying position at work. I get a few more months to actually afford taking a couple of months off for surgery (one thing I'm afraid of is that I won't be able to afford to take time off work to have surgery, and I'd have to delay it myself... that would be hard, knowing it's there waiting for me, everything is approved, and I can't afford to take two months off). Also, I now have a new girlfriend. So, I try to see the silver lining despite the set backs. And it could be worse, I could be living somewhere where there is no program, no funding, no anything. I have it better off than many others, even if there are set backs.
