Hi! The medical should be done first, definitely. Even if you pass the interview, the embassy won't give you a visa without a medical clearance. The results of the medicals should be in by the time you have your interview.

I know that you need medical clearance for the interview. I mean scheduling-wise. Should I know my Medical appointment date before I schedule an Interview date.... I'm concerned that if the interview is before my scheduled exam, it would obviously conflict and I would be screwed.

You will probably go for the Interview date first considering you have to book the interview and you will probably end up waiting for an interview date to open.

After you book the interview then go book the medical.

Yes, medical before interview...

Not if the OP is going to wait 3-4 months like previous Canadians have had to wait for an interview. Then you lose a bunch of time on your medical validity. With the way things are going in Canada right now you want to wait until the interview is booked before booking the medical. You don't know when you would be able to book an interview.

Thank you. :thumbs: I get it, scheduling is the issue.

Got my Medical scheduled for Nov 18th. Tight schedule I know but it works out well with my schedule. But still, I have no idea how to pay for my interview on this site. Will be ok for me to just pay it in cash the day of?

Yes, you can pay in cash at your interview. Make sure it's in US dollars.

Depends on the consulate, Morocco for example gives you an interview 3 months out and they recommend you complete the medical exam no earlier than 2 weeks before other consulates may have a much faster turn around time and in some countries it is hard to get a medical appointment.

Good luck,
