Is it okay if someone who has to go through their interview in Montreal gets their medical in Vancouver or vice versa (if they get their interview in Vancouver, can they get their medical in say Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa?)

One can get it at any of the APPROVED Immigration doctors in Canada.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

You can have your medical at the nearest Approved doctor around the area where you live.

And then youre gonna have to go to your Interview, Montreal or Vancouver, not sure which one you picked up or which one you will be adressed to.

Where do you live ?

Ditto. I believe there is a web site called "panel doctors" or the like, where you can see all doctors authorized to perform the medicals. Remember to get it done before interview - I personally think it's wiser to get it done as soon as you receive info from Consulate about your interview date (by phone or email or letter) - but as always, the best source of info is the Consulate itself... in your case if it's K-1 you ca be processed either at MTL or VAN - anyone else? I'm not too familiar with K-1 process.

You can get your medical done as soon as you have packet 3. Most panel physicians in Canada will want to see the cover letter in your packet 3 since it shows your NVC case number.

It doesn't matter where you get your medical done as long as it's by an approved panel physician. Depending on the panel physician, you can pick up or have them courier it to you and you bring the sealed envelope with you to the interview. I don't think any in Canada send it directly to the consulate.

Your packet 3 will list all the panel physicians in Canada.

Stop being so #######. ;) Yeah, "www.panelphysicians.com" is a company but the medical thingy in packet 3 refers to all the doctors as "panel physicians".

I still need to unpack. When are you driving down to Richmond to help me? :P

Nope, you do not have to wait until you have an interview date, Just take your letter from the Consulate from your packet 3 along with 1 passport photo and your immunization records and you can have your medical done at any approved panel physician. The medicals are valid for one year from the time you do them.

Oh yeah dont forget your fee :)

One can get it at any of the APPROVED Immigration doctors in Canada.

Ditto. I believe there is a web site called "panel doctors" or the like, where you can see all doctors authorized to perform the medicals. Remember to get it done before interview - I personally think it's wiser to get it done as soon as you receive info from Consulate about your interview date (by phone or email or letter) - but as always, the best source of info is the Consulate itself... in your case if it's K-1 you ca be processed either at MTL or VAN - anyone else? I'm not too familiar with K-1 process.
