MedicalExam for CR 1 in Canada [Antibody-Titer Test]

[Jullieta 0]

Hi Friends

I would need your advise for for my CR 1 Medical Examination.

I don't have any written proof for my vaccination. Therefore, I will have to get my antibody titer tests done for TDP and MMR.

I am an Indian national and my current country of residence is Canada. I don't have any Canadian health cards. Could you please, tell me where can I do the antibody titer tests in Toronto or Scarborough area and approximately how much will it cost?

Thanks folks!!!

Best Regards

Jullieta

I googled "medical tests out-of-country toronto" and got this clinic as a hit: http://www.lockwoodclinic.com/services.php I am sure there are other clinics that will take you and may be closer to you but here's one name for you

You may want to speak to someone from the health unit because I know there are certain viruses that you can't test immunity for. I had this problem trying to get my vaccines done for my K1 medical and they needed my immunization record to prove Measles/Mumps/Rubella (I think there's only one of those they can't test for but again, not sure which one).

I had to get my 2nd shot for MMR which was free (covered by my MSP so I don't know how much that cost) and the TDap was $40 at a Travel Clinic.

As long as you haven't had a TDap shot within the last 10 years they should give it to you but make sure you ask for TDap specifically because they will try to just give you part of it...

Where did you get your titre tests done? I didn't have my immunization records so I had to get the titre tests and they were able to test for everything.

Could you let me know where you got your test done? I'm looking to get one for myself and I can't seem to find one that tests for everything.

 

Many thanks!

That post was from 10 years ago so not sure 

 it will still be relevant? But I just went to my family Dr and she ordered the tests. 
 

Good Luck

Many thanks for the note! I've been trying to get some information off older posts to see if there's a lab I can go to considering my interview is round the corner. I'll check with my family doctor to see if he can help expedite it
