Just wanted to drop a note on our medical experience in Montreal.
August 9th 12pm had medical at Medisys located at Sherbrook.
Upon arrival receptionists requested copy of the interview letter from consulate along with passport size photos. She handed hubby a medical history questionairre to complete. She gave directions to the restroom and requested urine sample as well.
Completed questionaire and waited. then a series of women took him in at different times and returned him to the waiting area... first one took weight, height etc and asked if he had any allergies, second one took Chest Xrays, third performed eye exam, third took blood, fourth gave vacinations ( he recd three) , then finally the doctor came and took him in for a total of about 11 minutes. Very general, listened to heart, lungs, checked ears and throat, asked some simple questions and sent him back.
Proceeded to the receptionist to pay, Office visit cost $210 (canadian) and $68 extra for vacinations. I was a bit upset because when I scheduled appt, women said bring insurance card it can cover some of the vacinations, however the receptionists was quite adimant, "no isnurance covers cash or credit card only because we are a private practice" Didnt argue... (I was even more disturbed as I waited I noticed some people she took insurance cards from and some she took payments. AS close as I could figure was immigration to the US cost cash but Immigration to Canada they took insurance.. not positive) We came this far I was not going to hold things up for $68. The recepionist then gave us a receipt and said call in two business days for your results and to pick up.
Lastly, The waiting area was clean and neat BUT very very boring... we were there for 2 hours and 45 minutes... not a single TV, Radio or even a simple magazine to read anywhere!!! So bring your own busy work or entertainment LOL
Good luck to all... now we await our interview August 21st
