My fiancée had her medical examination yesterday (Tuesday, August 30). We decided that we would spend a week and a half in Montreal and get the medical examination done and do the interview a week later, since she is from Alberta. It wasn't too hard to find the medical office. It is in a tall building in Downtown Montreal. The clinic is on the 11th floor. There was an underground parking garage at Place Ville Marie which is a 15 minute walk from the medical office. Don't bother to try and find a place to park on the street, lol.

 

We walked in and checked in with the receptionist. Ashlee was given forms to fill out, including medical history. You must have your passport with you, as well as the interview letter AND a copy of the Packet IV e-mail. They will take photocopies of all those documents. You also have to give them 5 passport photos and your vaccination history. Ashlee had all her vaccines beforehand, but if you don't have them all they will give you the ones you need (at extra cost).

 

The nurse brought us into a room where she took vital signs and drew the blood for the blood tests and also gave Ashlee a container for a urine sample. The nurse was very nice and noticed at once how nervous Ashlee was. She was very reassuring and let me join her in the room while she drew the blood. After that Ashlee was directed to the bathrooms for her urine sample and then when that was finished she was called back for her chest x-ray.

 

Then we waited a little bit until the doctor was ready for her. I was not allowed to join her for the medical examination portion, but Ashlee said it went very well. Ashlee has Bipolar disorder which has been well controlled for 5 years. She brought copies of her medical records from her primary care physician's office but the doctor was not interested in looking at them, telling Ashlee that she could tell that her Bipolar was under control and not to worry about it.

 

After that was done, Ashlee was asked to pay $435.21 (Canadian dollars), and we were told that we could pick up the results as early as this Friday (3 business days). Plan on spending an hour and a half to two hours.

Thanks for this review :) I will be having my medical there and staying a week or so in Montreal as well since I am from Manitoba. :) I just got my last needed vaccine today so I am all good on that front. WHEW.
