The trick: same-day spots go early. Check RVSQ around 7 am, or call the clinic right when it opens. No family doctor? 811 option 3 does the searching for you.

The iPhone app

The site already does the real-time numbers, the map and the which-ER-to-drive-to part.

It opens from an icon, no address to type. And whatever you loaded last is still there when the signal drops, which it does in most hospital basements.

This list is in the app too, free the same as here. So is the rest of the app — there is no subscription at all any more, and wait times cost nothing anywhere.

On the App Store it is called "Urgences Québec: temps attente".

This site is free and will stay free

No ads, no account, nothing to install. One person builds it and pays for it. If it got you out of a jam today, a donation covers the hosting.
