Hi, currently living in the US. Finding it impossible to get any sources of life-ending drugs. Can I apply for medically assisted dying in Canada or something even though I live in the US? Any help is appreciated!

Eligibility

To be eligible for medical assistance in dying, you must meet all the following criteria. You must:

  • be eligible for health services funded by a province or territory, or the federal government
    • You may also be eligible if you meet your province or territory's minimum period of residence or waiting period.
  • be at least 18 years old and mentally competent
    • This means being capable of making health care decisions for yourself.
  • have a grievous and irremediable medical condition
  • make a voluntary request for medical assistance in dying
    • The request cannot be the result of outside pressure or influence.
  • give informed consent to receive medical assistance in dying
Generally, visitors to Canada are not eligible for medical assistance in dying.
