Cadreamer,

I was looking for you all the time .. I got there 6:40 and another girl came and we chatted a bit, the nurse came around 6:55 and lets in with her. 7am we were having letter and passport checked... She and I had exams and we walked to the X-ray together, I was hoping I could see you and the kids .. Well.. glad all went well for you.. Yeah, the doctor asked me to proof. Maybe because I am from Brazil ? .. i don't know why he got "hard" on me .. But anyway, I am working on getting all this figure out before my interview.

Eli -- ahhh, so we missed the first entry by only about 5 minutes or so. Bummer. Oh well, it still was pretty smooth, even with waiting til 7:30 to be let in. Fingers crossed that you can get the proof you need easily.

Good information.

I will do mine in Montreal. Wondering about vaccinations. I do not have any record. Will that be a problem?

Just wanted to post about my medical experience this morning. As I live in TO, I headed down to Dr. Seidans office and got there around 6:50 am. There was one guy outside waiting..chatted with him for a little bit and asked if he was a VJ'er. He said no so I told him to check out the site as it was very helpful and super informative. A girl came down to let us into the building at 7 am. We were the only 2 there. We were asked for our passports, appointment letters and a letter indicating our MTL case number (I used the letter from Packet 4 that has the case number on the back page) Make sure that you have this.

I went and sat in the waiting room for about 10 minutes and then dealt with Erlene (she is the lady that books the appointments and calls you back if you leave a message). I gave her my passport, photos and immunization records. She had me sign some paperwork and attached my photos to this paperwork. I was given an envelope (do not open this envelope_ with paperwork in it that had to be taken to an xray clinic outside of the building and around the corner. I then paid my $300.00 cash.

You then are escorted into an exam room and given a gown and asked to remove clothing but keep your bra on. (They do this to verify your gender...I asked the nurse and she said yes). The nurse then takes your weight, height and blood pressure and records it. You wait for the doctor to come in. The doctor comes in, ask about your medical history, if your on any meds, any pre-existing health issues and listens to your chest...just like going to the family doctor for a check-up or physical. The doctor was very nice. After he was finished (exam took all of 5 minutes) he told me that I would be doing blood test and was instructed to go back into the waiting are and wait to be called. He gives you some form to take the front when you are done your blood test You are instructed to then go back out into the waiting room. At this time it was about 7:40 and the waiting room was filling up. Got bloodwork done, gave my sheet back to the receptionist at the front, was told I could pick up my medical anytime after 12 on Friday.

Went to the xray clinic, gave them my passport and envelope. Then was called to go and get the xray done. You put the gown on and the xray tech did his thing. That was it. Done.

I did ask Erlene about getting extra copies of paperwork and she informed me that they only give you the paperwork you need for your interview and not to open the envelope that the medical comes in. The only extra copies of anything that you get is the immunization stuff. She also told me that I would probably have to have another medical done for the AOS which is weird because I thought that you could use your medical for your AOS if it was within the year that you had your medical. Hoping someone can clarify if this is true and what they will need in terms of this at the biometric appt. for AOS.
