K-1 Medical Examination Locations

[Kathryn Baer 1]

So I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere. Are there specific clinics/health centres a person has to go to for the Medical Examination for a K-1 Visa? Or can I go to our local health centre and get the exam done by the doctor there? The closest hospital to where I live is 6 hours away, and the doctors listed under the Montreal Embassy Information are all 4 provinces over. Would it be easier to get the exam done in Montreal itself a few days before my interview appointment?

You have to go to one of the approved clinics listed on the Montreal Consulate (the Embassy is located in Ottawa) website.  Some Canadians prefer to extend their stay in Montreal and do it all at once (Medical exam and interview), others do two trips - depends on your personal preferences, resources (time and $$) and location.

Forgot to add, please have a look at the Canada forum, plenty of useful info there: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/

Do you know the link for the Montreal Consulate? I definitely think that since it takes a day for me to just get to an airport that I'd prefer doing everything in one trip.
