Québec has 12 emergency departments — 10 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 2 with limited operating hours. 4 of 12 currently have live wait time data. Right now, 57 people are waiting across Québec emergency departments.
Wait time data for Québec is sourced from Santé Québec (Index santé) and updates as frequently as every 15 minutes. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician.
All emergency departments in Québec use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit — it depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
Check wait times on this page before leaving. ERstat updates every 5 minutes and shows all Québec ERs sorted from shortest to longest wait. Each hospital page includes a 12-hour forecast chart and a “Best Time to Visit” pattern based on historical data.
If your condition is not life-threatening, consider whether a walk-in clinic, urgent care centre, or pharmacist could help instead. Quebec pharmacists can assess and prescribe for many common conditions with no appointment needed. See what your pharmacist can treat →
