Hey all! I'm finally booking my medical! However, my interview date February 16, and the 15th is a holiday in the U.S...?

How the heck do I coordinate with Dr. Chema's office? What is the email address? I cannot for the life of me find it...

And is it possible to do medical and interview on same day? I'm so anxious!!!!

Thanks all!

Thanks all! I got it sorted out, looks like March 1st will be the interview day, and the 26th of Feb will be the medical... I'm super thankful that I can even get these days off work. I'm not sure how they still operate like this, or why there isn't a doctor in each province at least... lol

When I had my interview date I put in my notice at work and stopped working the day before heading to Montreal for my medical and interview. I was a little over sure I suppose, but I couldn't see any reason to deny me and I could always get my job back. I'd hate to work for some place where you have to be grateful to get time off to do something this important to you. But everyone is different thankfully. :)
