I'm nowhere near close to needing to have my medical but I was just wondering if you can have it done in a different province than the one you live in. I'm in Ottawa and the medical here is $250 but in Montreal it's only $180. Would it be possible to do this?

Yes. Feel free to roam the country,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Yep... it is!! I had to do mine in a diff province cause there's only 1 in the Maritimes.. The bonus of going out of province is that Blue Cross told me because the medical was out of province they'd pay 100% for it.. That was the what they told me when I submitted my reciepts anyway! :)

Wow, that's great to hear! Any way that I can save money is a plus. Were you already covered by Blue Cross beforehand, or did you just call them up and ask that of them? That would be great because I have to get the Gardasil, which I'm sure they won't cover but it's about $600 in total. I wonder though if they agreed to cover you because you had no other options, they'd probably tell me to suck it up and pay the $250 lol.

Thanks for all the replies!

Yep I had blue cross insurance through my employer. I just took the medical receipt to the quick pay office just on a whim that they might reimburse me for it.> i was shocked when they reimbursed me 100% for it citing it was cause it was an "out of province" expense. VERY good deal!! :)
