I had my medical today (Feb 2) in Montreal at Medisys with Dr. Galperin.  

 

9:06 - arrived on time for appointment and was screened at the door.  Also gave my passport, immunization record, pictures, and interview letter to this same greeter.

9:10 - called up to reception for a picture, and given paperwork to fill out.

9:35 - paperwork completed and handed back to receptionist

9:46 - x-ray completed

10:00 - meeting with Dr. Galperin.  She seemed fairly busy, but was extremely friendly.  We talked more about my children (who were not with me) than anything else, and how it would have been so much lovelier to see Montreal in the summer.  She went over my paperwork, had me change into a gown, checked eyes, ears and abdomen, and listened to my heart and lungs.  Done by 10:13!

10:45 - urine test and blood work.  They also take height, weight and blood pressure.  I did not need any vaccines.  

After sitting for about another 10 minutes I was called up to pay ($540). I was told the results would be emailed to the embassy in 2-3 business days, but we'll see if that happens or not!

11:08 left of the building!

 

So all in all it was a 2 hr experience from arrival to exit.  It's a beautiful facility and I really appreciated not having to run around to different venues to get my tests done.  I took a book to read while waiting. The entire staff is bilingual, and it was really a very simple experience.

Hi, i am also waiting for my visa interview.. can you tell me how long did you wait for the interview after DQ? Thanks

 

My DQ date was May 21.  Interview is Feb 8.  So 7.5 months, including the 3 month COVID delay.  I think it was closer to 4 months on average pre-COVID.

Hello, I have 2 question for you.
1. I don't have any of my vaccination record. I believe it will cost me good amount if I get it at the time of medical. Any idea if I can take few of them at Shoppers or at local pharmacy?
2. Is $540 standard fee or did you take any vaccination at the time of your medical ?

 

thank you

I was looking for information about Medisys, it looks like it's now Telus HealthCare center (https://www.telus.com/en/health/care-centres). Where did you have your appointment exactly in Montreal ? Thanks !

Yes, it's in the Telus HealthCare Centre.  The address is 600 BLVD Maisonneuve Ouest, 22nd floor.  They send you all the info in an email when you book with them.  it's not far from the consulate.  If you get a hotel in the area you can easily walk to both.
