Sorry to ask so many annoying questions. It seems like once you get everything to the interview stage the questions flood in!!

What time did you go to Woking to wait for the doors to open for your medical? Is it a safer part of downtown? I have to wait with my mini me out there and I am hopeful its an ok part of Vancouver!

We booked the flights and our hotel last night! Sooooooo exciting and nerwracking at the same time!! (L)

I stayed at the Burrard Inn which, while a mediocre hotel, is on the same block, 200 feet down from the medical clinic. I gave myself a 5:30 wakeup call and got there about 5:50. There were 2 people in front of me.

It seemed like a perfectly fine area. It's on a major street. There's a big hospital on the north side of the street, which I initially thought contained Woking, but it doesn't. Burrard Inn and Woking are both on the south side of the street. I recall there being very very little pedestrian or motor traffic at that time of the morning. I wouldn't worry about it.

DON'T PANIC

I found it to be quite a good area. You want to get there early! Like 5:45 am. They will take you in order of line up. The actual door to the clinic is kinda hidden, and at first I wasn't sure I was in the right place! lol. You will take an elevator to the clinic. Now..I have heard that several people would have to wait until the nurses came before getting on the elevator, but when I did mine...we all waited in the actual office upstairs. So don't hesitate to try the elevator, just in case.

There isn't an actual "door" at street level, (if I remember correctly) When you find the building, you'll see an entrance, like going into a parking garage. It should be to you left. Go on in there, and you'll see the elevators. Maybe there are gates around them or something. Somebody that had to wait down stairs will let you know, but they were definitely open when I was there, (I got there about 6:00 am) There are lots of people for these exams, so very safe for your mini me :)

Once you get upstairs and they are ready to start taking everyone, they'll give you forms to fill out first. Try to fill it out as fast as you can, because first come first serve. If all goes well, you should be out by 8:00 - 8:30. Lots of time to see parts of Vancouver before picking up your results at 2:00. Enjoy!! :)

Exam's really easy too!
