Saw my GI on my local news today discussing that Entyvio is now approved in Canada for the use of UC, it's not covered by any provincial health care as of yet (but I'm sure it will be as other biologics have been) but people are urged to check with their private health benefit coverage through work.

Thanks for the update, but there are a number of these threads already : p Its been approved since late January and ready for commercialization since May 7th!

Thanks for the update. I will be asking my GI this friday about the possibility of trying to start Entyvio, if needed.
