Medical Review Toronto: Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas

[AliRock2016 8]

Hi all,

 

We completed our medical with Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas in Toronto yesterday and here is a quick review for you.  I was a little nervous as I also have an 8 year old k2 applicant going through the process with me.

 

Booking the appointment was very easy on the visadoctor.ca website.  And I received a confirmation of appointment email the same day.

 

We had all of the documents requested.  I did not have my doctor sign the immunization records sheet since I had a copy of our updated immunization cards.  I did just fill in the information myself and show our immunization card. 

 

I drove to the appointment and was able to find parking for $3.00 on St. Clair (near Bathurst), across from the Life Labs at 526 St. Clair Ave  where you will go for blood work after your appointment. The building was easy to find and we took the elevator to the 3rd floor.  The office was small and packed.  We arrived 10 minutes early for our 1:30 appointment.  We provided all of the documents requested on the website and filled out one form each.  We waited 45 minutes before seeing the doctor.  I was asked where I was going and to write down our weight and height.  The doctor was friendly, looked through our package and asked if we were healthy....That was it.  I paid cash directly to the doctor and was given a receipt.  Only I was provided with a cup and small package to give the lab.  I was then directed to the basement of the same building to complete my x-ray.  While heading to the xray I logged into the Life Labs appointment bookings and was able to secure an appointment for 30 minutes later.  The xray took 10 minutes and we headed to Life Labs.  It was packed but because I had an appointment my wait was only 10 minutes long.  I provided a urine sample and 1 small tube of blood was taken.  And that is it!!

 

So basically the K2 under 15 doesn't have anything to worry about beside attending the appointment.

 

Hope this helps.

 

I will pick up my results in 5 to 10 days....then off to my interview.

 

Good Luck everyone!
