We just got packet 3 today and apparently not only is there no new doctor for Edmonton, there are no doctors at all for Saskatchewan.

Also, to make an appointment with the doctor in Calgary, apparently you have to speak to him personally.

I'm still really happy that we got packet 3 finally!!

YAY! I'm glad you guys got your Packet 3! It's crazy that they didn't add another doctor here in Edmonton. It's even crazier that there are NO doctors at all in Saskatchewan! Geez! The Vancouver medical place will definitely get it's share of business, that's for sure!

Oh yeah, the doctor in Calgary obviously doesn't respond to emails at all. I emailed them at least 2 weeks ago and never received a response. At least the lady in Vancouver responded and we decided to go that way. Thank goodness!

Now, you just have to fax it back and then get ready to wait for an interview date! tongue.gif That's where we're at. Waiting for the date! I sure hope we get it soon!

The doctor is gone I must have just lucked out. I had a doctors appointment in Edmonton on March11/08 with Dr. Chana. He was listed on the doctors for Alberta in packet#3.He was on vacation for a few months.

You did luck out! I phoned on the 13th and booked an appointment for the 27th, and was phoned later on that week to be told that he no longer did them anymore! It was craziness!

The Vancouver doctor sounds very accomodating. For us it is still more convenient for him to go to Calgary. He was going to make a weekend trip to Calgary to visit his sister and nieces sometime in April anyway.

FYI for anyone else going to Dr Viljoen in Calgary --- he does have someone who can book the medical appointment for you, but his regular receptionist cannot. I don't know if the person who handles scheduling medicals only works part time or just happened to be out Wednesday and Thursday, but she was in today, and my fiance booked his appointment for April 10. What a relief! kicking.gif kicking.gif
