American outland PR application: can we get medical exam in Canada?

[silky28]

Hey all,

I did some searching on here and it seems as if it does not matter where you get the medical done so long as it is a board certified physician, but I figured I should make sure.

My American wife and I are planning her outland PR application. We have the application filled out with specific attention to proving the legitimacy of our relationship. All we need now is the criminal background check and the medical. She did the background check through the FBI and we have another 1-2 months to wait for that so we are beginning to plan for the medical.

Now, the nearest panel physician to her is in St. Louis, a 5-6 hour drive from her home. Since she will be here in Toronto soon we are wondering if it is permitted for an American doing an outland application to have her medical done in Canada?

thanks for your time,
John

It does not matter where, so long as it's a panel physician. You could fly to Timbuktu and do it there (as long as they have a CIC-listed physician).

Yeah! My American husband got his medical in Kingston, ON while visiting for a long weekend

we got ours done in Canada and it was approximately $190 CAD total compared to the $450 USD they wanted to do it here
