That sounds very frustrating. The cancer centre here did my genetic testing through Invitae, a U.S. firm. They just asked my permission, took a sample, and then mailed it off. I was able to see the results online in a few weeks (that's how I know I don't have the BRCA1/2 mutations). It might be worth mentioning it to your care team again, since it costs them practically nothing.
It's frustrating that the quality of care varies so much, depending on where you live and which oncologist you land with. We've even had a few people here in the forum report problems at top facilities like Mayo.
Are you certain it wouldn't be possible/practical to get into a different facility, like Princess Margaret in Toronto (an hour away from you)? I don't think you'd have to give up your current care until you were accepted there.
I hope things improve for you. Here's the link to the firm that did my genetic testing:

My radiation treatment ends next Thursday. I am going to ask for a referral to a clinical oncologist at a centre of excellence. Although... Grand River "is associated" with Princess Margaret. They just forgot to transfer knowledge.
