Tracking EP at the NVC (YOUR DATA NEEDED!)

Anyone doing medical in Toronto?

If I got a call back tomorrow, I still might, but if I don't have the call back tomorrow, I'm going a week tomorrow to Montreal and keeping the appointment I booked at Medisys. Two of three said no and the third in Toronto hasn't called back, but I'm not holding my breath. This timeline is too tight, but I can do it!

I emailed them requestieng a very specific time and they emailed me back in 5 minutes and this was very late in their day, I was surprised. Hopefully they can get you in. Fingers crossed.

It's MINDBLOWING exciting!! I am so happy. Now of course I found something new to stress about - booking the medical appointment!!!! I am on call the weekend before and after my interview, and of course it's Victoria Day on Monday, so I really hope ANY doctor will get me in for a quick appointment. I do hope it's possible!!! But overall, I think it's really really cool. I just feel so ridiculously happy right now. But tired. But happy. But tired… and so on;)

The problem is how tight my timeline is. No one but Medisys has been able, so far, to guarantee they'll have the labs back by the correct day. I can't take tomorrow off work due to a staffing issue and that was the only day they could guarantee the labs back at the one place in Toronto (I think it was Lee?) that even had a hope in heck of it happening. I've only got fourteen days to get it all done and that's causing some issues--most people aren't as urgent as that, I think.

Elena at http://www.visadoctor.ca/was super helpful in meeting my needs. I know it tight but you should give it a try, the worst she can say is no, then you do it montreal. When i did this last time in 2011 they only conducted these kinds of medicals in early morn and on certain days. This office does them all day, everyday. You just might luck out.

btw, im thinking of doing the megabus now too...although its a red eye in but the bus depot is sooooo close to the embassy its hard not to say no. i dreading doing the 747 ride from the airport to the embassy on my own last time as i don't read french and hadn't paid too much attention to the route I need to take (bus and subway). the megabus sounds pretty relaxing although i'd be sleeping in a bus....overnight.

k,thanks

i see that medisys sends embassy directly results, is this correct? someone pls confirm. thx

panel of physician in to charges 300 but you need to return in a few days to pick up results, not sure what they charge to send them to you. http://www.visadoctor.ca/usa

last time i did this (2011) it was $50 to courier them too you.

humm, medisys is closer, probs better parking for me and like that i don't have to get the results....if this is true.

[Steven and Alice 30]

oh wow only Dr. Lee can accommodate? What about Dr. Mascarenhas?! Time line is so tight.

And forgot to say, congrats to eveyone but Not a Tailor in particular since you can be with your wife in 3 weeks time! It's so amazing!!

I didn't even ask, tbh. I was just so glad to hear a yes for an appointment.

Dr M was a straight up no. I'm waiting on Dr zatzman, but expect that to be a no as well. Lee could accommodate if I could be there today and I cannot for several reasons be anywhere until Monday. So I took the appointment at medisys in Montreal and will have to take extra time off work for it.

My move will likely be the end of may as my wife is going to come to Toronto after exams are over for a vacation. I promised to take her to the zoo.

Oh great. I hope she's feeling better.

I just booked my medical and our case file still at NVC. I'm trying to see if I can make the interview date. But does anyone know if it is okay to fly domestic without passport? I haven't booked ticket because of it. (Edited: okay I checked website and said it is ok if have 2 ids.. but any hassle though?)

Do we need a revised I864? Or we just need to supply W2, taxtranscript/1040 for 2014? Trying to get my husband and joint sponsor to send stuff asap.

So I just booked my medical with Dr. Zatzman in Vaughan. They booked it for May 13 and said that was it for availability and the next available was May 26...which would be a little too late for my interview as it's on the 22nd. Just thought I'd let everyone know to call somewhere ASAP if you haven't already. The lady said that they have been bombarded with calls today and she didn't know what was going on. I explained to her that we have all been waiting for about a month and then all of a sudden we all got our letters yesterday.

Does this number 603 334 0700 look familiar? I bet alot of you would definitely miss being on hold for an hour, only for the line to drop....."your patience is highly appreciated"
