Canada Immigration and K1 Guide for Vancouver

eh - i think is easier to update the data there at the link. Anyone can do it, anyone can see it at the Canada Portal Page - so it's easier to get to without knowing about the Wiki and the pages there.

Just a thought.

This is a great thread, thank you so much. I have a question, should you do vaccinations prior to the medical or can you receive them at the time of the medical?

prior.

[dukeandduchess 141]

You must do them prior to your medical and bring proof of immunizations to your medical exam. Best to start them as soon as possible because if you need vaccinations like MMR or varicella it is two doses spaced 1 month apart. Slowed down the process for me because I had to do two rounds of varicella!

Yep. And you can ask your doc now to do blood tests to see if you need any shots/boosters. (Yay what I get to do this morning....vampires!)

Is there a form to have the nurse fill out for vaccinations prior to the medical or do you just bring your proof of vaccinations to the medical and the doctor fills out the proper form? Thanks

[pro_star 52]

As far as I know, just bring your proof of vaccines.

[dukeandduchess 141]

The above is correct. Just bring proof of all required vaccinations. They will give you a piece of paper back which you will need for your AOS.

Hi,

I see the Woking medical is now closed ? is there another site in Vancouver?

Also, I am here as a permanent resident. This whole vaccination thing is starting to scare me. I know I have had the vaccinations (from the UK) and I have had chicken pox. But evidence is going to be a pain to obtain. I also actually work in a hospital.

So would the medical interview, assume because I am from the UK and have gone through to PR process for Canada previously I had my vaccinations?

[pro_star 52]

1. there is, dr. cheema i believe isn't he in vancouver?

2. can you get the vaccine records from the UK? if it's going to be a PITA to obtain, you can get bloodwork done to see what your immunity is (I went this route).

3. call them and ask.

Here's a link you may find helpful, it has up to date listing of who can perform it.

Actually I answered my own question, spoke to the medical team here just now, and yes I can get tests done here. Will speak to a doctor later and get the blood test and the tdap is good to go as well.

So its MMR, Varicella and TDAP ? I just looked at that link, do I have to get tested for all those ? :oO

[pro_star 52]

the blood test will see if you have the antibodies/need a booster. don't worry, the vampires won't suck too much blood.
