Those two are probably the most convenient for those out west, but there are three other offices all in ON. Details for all five on the last page of https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Medical/MTL - Montreal.pdf

And no, I don't think you're allowed to get the medical done in the US.

Thank you, very helpful, especially about the vaccination records as well. Time to start digging.

Don't worry too much about the vaccinations - that document skips over the age-appropriate requirement - assuming you're between 19 and 60, you only need Tdap, MMR, Varicella (if you haven't had chickenpox - they'll take your word for it, no proof required), and Influenza (if your medical is in flu season - Oct 1 to Mar 31) - see https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/Print/PolicyManual-Volume8-PartB-Chapter9.html. If you don't have records covering those three (or four in winter), Alberta Health will happily revaccinate you for free.

Yup - where applicable - plus your daughter's birth certificate to establish proof of your relationship with her.
