iCivic — Wait Times

iCivic is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, operated by, or representing any government or public body — including the Government of Quebec, the Government of Canada, the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS), the SAAQ, Service Canada, the City of Gatineau, or any other agency. iCivic does not facilitate any government service; it only displays wait times for informational purposes. No one should waste their day waiting. iCivic displays wait times for public services: hospital emergency rooms, SAAQ offices, municipal service centres, and Service Canada offices. Check the wait time before you leave, and leave at the right time. HOW IT WORKS • View a map of services around you with a clear color code: green means you can go. Off-peak hours for each location are estimated from observed history — get an alert as soon as the wait time drops below your threshold. • Confirm the wait in two clicks: a geo-verified, anonymous report that helps everyone after you. WHERE OUR DATA COMES FROM This is the complete list of sources iCivic uses. There are no others. Each location's source is also shown directly inside the app. Official sources: • Emergency-room wait times: Government of Quebec, Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) — https://www.quebec.ca/en/health/health-system-and-services/service-organization/quebec-health-system-and-its-services/situation-in-emergency-rooms-in-quebec • Service Canada office wait times: Government of Canada, Service Canada — https://offices.service.canada.ca/en/checkwalkinwaittimeshref • Weather, forecasts and weather alerts: Government of Canada, Environment Canada — https://weather.gc.ca • Boil-water and do-not-consume advisories: Government of Quebec, Ministry of the Environment (MELCCFP) — https://www.quebec.ca/en/agriculture-environnement-et-ressources-naturelles/eau-potable/qualite-eau-potable/boil-water-advisory-against-drinking-water User reports: • Wait times for SAAQ service points and municipal service centres: estimated solely from anonymous, geo-verified reports submitted by iCivic app users.

Busy-time estimates are computed from averages of observed history (hour, day of week, time of year) and are indicative only.
