medical question

[VandJ 0]

first post here... so sorry if its a frequently asked question, i didnt find anything about it

i am from quebec (husband is from los angeles) and we will be dealing with the montreal consulate right?

when it comes to the medical exam, i will have to go to one of the 2 doctors in montreal? is there any other approved doctors in quebec city? (not mtl?)

so if someone from is flying in from lets say PEI, they have to stay in montreal for a whole week to get their medical done and then the interview a week later?

thanks alot!

There are only four panel physicians in all of Canada, I believe: 1 in Vancouver, 1 in Toronto and 2 in Montreal. If you wanted to do the whole thing at once, giving yourself a week in Montreal for both the medical and the interview is a good idea, yes.

Your interview will be in Montreal if you are filing a CR-1 visa (you mentioned husband, so I'm assuming), as they are the only consulate in all of Canada that handles them.

Also, be sure to fill in your timeline, as it helps others answer your questions more easily.

i guess i'll stop complaing! 2.5 hours of driving isnt as bad as loosing a week of work & buying a plane ticket!

and we havent filed for out I-130 yet since we got married not even a month ago, so we dont have our wedding certificate.

I did fill my timeline in my profile, but it's not showing in my signature?

Thank you for adding your timeline. Be sure to update it as you move along in your process.

The signature you can add by clicking "My Assistant" at the top right corner, then "Edit Forum Signature".

Good luck for when you file. It's a lot to take in, but the guides and forums here are a great wealth of knowledge and are sure to help.

Hi there, I had to same problem, I had to stay in Montreal for a week, had my medical on Monday, and interview on Friday. Mine was done at Medisys little cheaper then the other place and its not far from the consulate I booked through hotwire and got the Comfort Inn for $44 a nite. So all in all it wasn't bad.
