We applied September last year. Got work permit December. CSQ application 6th of March 2020, CSQ approved 22nd of September. Medical request 16th of October.
I did the medical yesterday. I called up a few places and the prices are around 230-250. They only take cash for some reason and do not accept insurance. They do urine test, lung x-ray, blood test. I was told they only look for sugar in urine, and infectious diseases in blood like TB, syphilis, hepatitis, and hiv etc. And they give you a very general eye exam with glasses/contacts on. There is also a doctor’s visit very briefly. She checked my stomach for anything out of the ordinary, checked blood pressure, and asked me questions about my medical history. All of it took me about an hour but the place I went to was quite crowded.
