i wanted to know how i could get my immunization records can them through health Canada i don't know which doctor did my shots because i was so young and i doubt my dad will remember the doctor's name

I believe the doctors have some proceedure, which let's them know which all the immunizations to be administered. So be cool.

I just went to my GP with a list of the required immunizations. He wrote on his prescription pad what I would have had, and when, and then gave me some booster shots for the ones which were outdated. Montreal accepted it without a problem.

A lot of Canadians have called their provincial health department and I think, maybe, their school district? Not sure about that last one. Others have just gone and got their titres done.

I'm going to move your thread from the IR-1/CR-1 forum to the Canada forum as this is very specific to the country and consulate. You'll get appropriate input there.

I emailed Peel Regional Health Department and they were able to mail me a print out of their records. I also had the little yellow booklet thay my mom had kept throughout the years and used that as well. It was a good thing I had both because my little yellow book was missing 1 shot, but it was listed on the sheet from Peel.

I went to Public Health in N.S. and they had most of my shot records. What they didn't have (because my doctor didn't inform them), I got from my doctor himself.

You can also get the titres done, if you have moved away from your doctor or can't access your records, etc.

Off topic, but if you can, I would suggest asking your family doctor for a complete record of your visits to him or her. I did that before I left for the US, and I'm glad I did. We don't have PPO insurance, so our out of pocket expense is annoying when I just need a routine thing done here. Last week, I told my new doctor here that I had a test done in Canada last year, so she agreed that I didn't need to have it done again so soon, and it saved us a few hundred dollars.
