Medical exam inquiry

[tHund3r 0]

I hope everyone had a Christmas blast with their loved ones!!!!

I have some questions for medical exams. I am not a Canadian. I have been here in Canada as a foreign worker. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

What are the vaccinations/records that are necessary during the medical exams? I really do not know what to do if in case I would be asked for any medical records because since I arrived in here, I visited a doctor's office once (thank God) . Back home, I can't remember anymore what were the vaccinations that i went through and there were no records on them.

Have a Prosperous and Blessed 2010 to all!!!!

You just need documentation of your vaccinations through your life.

If you can't get a hold of them, you can get a titer test done to show what you have immunity to. If you don't have immunity to ones listed in your age group on the doctor's website, you'll have to get vaccinated for them and keep record of those.

Okay, I just have to ask....

If you are not a Canadian, then how can you apply for a CR1 to be interviewed as a Canadian? Don't you have to return to your native country and apply through there?

As you are in Canada legally you can DCF - say you have a study visa, as long as it is good for 6 months and can prove you have been in Canada for an extended period of time - you can DCF here.

My husband is the USC, I'm here in Canada as a foreign worker.

Its actually pretty common for non-Canadians living in Canada to be the beneficiary of a US visa. When I had my K-1 interview in Montreal I met a girl who had been living in Canada under a student visa but was a citizen of the Philippines. It would be pretty unreasonable to ask her to fly all the way home for her interview when she has been living in Canada as a legal resident.

Good luck tHund3r!

True. I was in Canada on a study permit, then on a work-permit for accompanying spouse (husband is the USC) and I interviewed in The only issue us

I'm from a country other than Canada and never had vaccination records, either. What I did was print off the immunization requirements from the Panel Physicians site and took them with me to the doctor's office. He gave me some booster shots then wrote them, plus the normal immunizations I would have received from my home country, on his prescription pad. I took that with me to the medical and they accepted it.

Hihi! I am a Filipino citizen who held Canadian residency during a K1 application. I just followed the immunization requirements from the Panel Physician list in Toronto (http://panelphysicians.com/Pages/Immunizations.htm). I think the US vaccination requirements are the same for most countries, except that the US Consulates in Canada require that you complete most of them before granting you your visa.

The USCIS also list the US vaccination requirements (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b9f89aca94cf2110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=95fc9c997f710110VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD) which are basically what is in that earlier website. Some of them are age-specific.

I would call the Panel Physician office though just to make sure the 2008 requirements have not changed yet.

Goodluck!

I am so grateful that there is a forum like this...It is such a relief esp that I am not in my home country .

Krikit, i will do the same thing as what you did. Many Thanks!

darkchilde, maraming salamat talaga..
