Gathering Paperwork for Interview

[Ms Hogan 295]

OP, you cannot book your medical in Canada without having your interview date. I had to actual present my interview letters (myself and 2 children) in order to proceed. That may have changed in the past two years so the best thing you can do is call the doctor's office you would like to use and ask their specific requirements.

One of the things I did right away was visit my own family doctor to make sure all of my vaccines were up-to-date. But that was after talking to the nurse at the immigration doctor's office to be VERY clear about what I needed. Some stuff had to be within a certain timeline if I was missing it.

As far as prepping documents, that is what is encouraged most here. Have everything ready so the second they give you the word GO you are ready!!

Thanks for this advice. I just requested my vaccination records from my family doctor. I will be calling the immigration doctor offices this week to confirm which vaccines are required.

Hi,

So you can call and ask which ones are required? I am still awaiting NOA2 (tsc yay..) And am stressing over my vaccines. I have the record already, but it is written in a foreign language to me.

As for the paperwork, I already started gathering stuff I need. Working on the birth certificate translation at the time. Any one have recommendations or price range? The lady I found charges 60$ and its a 2 hour trip as I live north shore of Montreal.

When I got my packet 4 from Vancouver, it had the list of ones I need in there.

If I recall correctly, Dr. Cheema also has the list posted on his website.

I called Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas and they told me to look on the website for the age bracket that you are in. Here is the website http://www.visadoctor.ca/ if you have had chicken pox before they need something from your family doctor stating that you have had them before. At least that is what the lady at reception told me. You can order an antibodies test from your family doctor as well to determine what shots will be required. I would print off the page of information off the website and talk to your doctor about it.

Regarding the chicken pox it has been acceptable in the past to just verbally declare you had the chicken pox. I don't believe you need anything from a doctor saying you had it.
