Montreal is quite boring for a children, mine was running around hiding under tables and constantly staring out the window , he also "pretended" to read a bunch of booklets (he cannot read yet).

The mailing fee for the medical is stupid so I decided to pick mine up a few days later due to being only an hour away.

At the medical the do a chest xray (for you not children) blood work (for you not children) , they check your lungs, heart,eyes,mouth, and then the doctor touches your stomach. then a nurse comes in does a breast exam and peeks at your groin area. The children will get a much faster look over more like a regular check up at your family doctor. They will go over immunizations and that about wraps it up.

If you live in Toronto the medical would be in Montreal?

We have a 14 months old son, does he needs for medical too?

[Inky 1,111]

No you can have your medical in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.

Nope you would go to Toronto to have it done. Nice people there. I came from Oshawa on the train to toronto for the medical. I am pretty sure they will still want to see him but I do not think they will do anything , let me check...

This is from the Toronto medical site

All members of your family listed on your appointment letter require a medical. This includes infants and children. Children under 15 are not required to have blood tests or an x-ray.

Yes you will still need the consent letter even with full custody. I think someone on here had their custody papers say they had full mobility to move the kids to the US and Montreal still wanted the consent letter. My lawyer did not trust just a consent letter even if my ex would give me one, she had a court order made up specifically stating all the kids can move to the US. (well alot better then how I wrote it. )

The Hep B is given to babies in the US so you will need to have it started for both kids by the time you go to the interview or they will hold up your medical till its started. They wont offer it at the medical for some reason either. I had to call the health unit to get it for my youngest and I think they charged me 17$ for both shot's the 3rd shot(6mos after the 2nd shot) was given to my son in the US and was covered since they recommend it alot earlier.

Same thing for my case, I had to go back to court and get the phrase "Allowed to take <child's name> out of Canada to live" or something like that, and I too had full custody.

I think they (the consulate) take the business of child custody, parental kidnapping, etc pretty seriously nowadays.

I have sole custody and although I could have asked my ex to sign a notirized letter (He wouldnt even sign for my sons passport 2 years ago)

I figured I would go straight to court and get a order to do so, I have a regular court order for sole custody along with it saying some pretty awesome things like they took his right away to sign for a passport etc. Then They added the "order to move said children to the United states or any other place".

My lawyer was extremely expensive though, so If the dad is cooperative I would say that could be a great option otherwise go to court. You can probably get a lawyer for alot less then I did. Mine cost 6300.00. In the end he was worth it, Although I Think I did most the work outside of the courtroom.

My 4 year old son had his first Hep b shot from his family doctor, I had to go to the pharmacy and buy the twinex vaccine to get him to do due to them not liking to give the shot to children under 12. My son just got his second shot yesterday at the maryland health department, one more to go.

Hey Canadianggal I'm from Whitby, would love to here your experience with the court and getting your court order amended and any other experience you would like to share with me.

Don't forget the interview fee. I did a K-1 and it was $350.

I just had my interview today in Montreal and there were quite a few kids there.

The had a small play area there and a tv playing kids movies.

I was in and out (approved) in an hour, though I was first. But they seemed to be moving pretty quickly, my actual interview part was maybe 5 mins so hopefully you won't be stuck in there forever with the little ones.

Woot for Whitby

My experience with court,

To be honest my experience with court was rather easy and probably not everyone's experience, My ex seemed to think if he didn't show up they wouldn't do anything... Wrong. I only went to court once when I did the "custody" as he didn't show up and they put him in default. Not to mention he called 5 minutes before the actually court hearing and told them that he didn't have transportation and that he was served only days before...tsk tsk tsk When you are served they show the date and signature lol. I waited , waited some more and then finally heard word from my lawyer that the custody order had gone through. My experience with court in this one was easy as pie, I saw my lawyer more than anything. On this court order I have sole custody,permission to travel for vacation outside of the country, Permission to get his passport without a fathers signature, Visitation when i choose, He cannot remove my son out of the city I live in without a note as well as call or interfere in my raises of my child, and finally child support which I did not even want because he is broke. I have seen 120 dollars in 2 years and he owes me something like 4500.

Getting my court order amended was much harder. I got a new "classy" lawyer (damn expensive, probably could have used a less expensive one). We wrote up a huge file,information about my husband and his life, what he could provide for us, what my sons life would be like, then stuff about the ex from face book pages,Notes from friends,emails,lack of visitation. From there we had to find him (we hadn't talked in almost a year) That was fun,searching around for a person who you would rather not find, calling old friends whom you would rather never talk to again, and then last but not least hiring a private detective to find him.

He was served and my court date was set, when I went to court they automatically changed the date to a few weeks later as you have to give a respondent 30 days. My lawyer had never done a case like mine and somehow thought you only had to give 12 days notice. I went to court 3 more times and basically just sat in the court waiting area, on the 4th time the Judge wanted to hear my case directly from me and ask me some questions. Most were about my plans for the future and my husbands plans. By then my son was calling my husband Daddy which was probably a good show of the bond between them. The judge seemed to be quite content with what I said but didn't give a answer right away.I waited another 4 weeks and was told me were granted the order.. MY life began LOL

Court was easy. The waiting sucked. I am horrible at telling stories so If you have a direct question or questions that i can answer let me know lol . I wish you luck. One day we will file for adoption and that should be the really Fun part lol..
