Thanks Cabalen. Appreciate it your response.

BTW, I had done the medical at 751 Victoria St N, Kitchener, ON N2B 3C1.

Really very bad road and weather but we wanted to finish ASAP. Now at least I am relaxing and eating food at Ricky's ALL DAY GRILL with family.

Thanks for your help. Hope other people will get medical sooner.

As I have shared before. He is fast and we are highly satisfied.

We were booked at 12:45pm. My wife and filled up some forms including the our kids' forms while the kids play in the lobby. There were toys there and magazines as well. We didn't need to wait for anything and immediately went to take photo inside the clinic then ask us to submit urine samples. Dr. Garrett is the one who performed the physical exams. He interviewed us with regard to our medical history and how the whole the process. He will give you a graph and timeline when all the results will be done and when he will be submitting the results. He also described to us what medical issues CIC is very critical with and what each exam (physical, blood, xray) is achieving.

After physical, Dr. Garrett will walk you through the blood lab and x-ray. He will ask you to go first to blood lab on the 2nd floor in the same building. Ask how you need to wait. If it's more than 20mins, go immediately to the x-ray lab to save time. In the blood lab, just give the medical technician the forms the doctor gave you. We waited for 10mins and another 10mins to get our blood. We then went to x-ray on the basement beside the doctor's clinic. They know we were coming and just told them our name. It was 5 mins of wait and less then 10mins for x-rays. By 2:30pm we were done.

So we did our medical Nov. 6 and Dr. Garrett emailed me on Nov 10 that the results have been submitted and there were no issues found. That's 3 business days as he promised. My eCas updated on Nov. 14 that our medicals have been received.

In case you need info going there, it usually takes 1 hour and 20 mins from Toronto to Kitchener. I hope the weather tomorrow will cooperate with you. Probably allot 2 hours going to Kitchener. Always check the news for the traffic. Hwy 401 west has had crazy long traffic lately because of the snow fall. Anyway, once you get to Hwy 8, go to the inner (leftmost lane). For it will split to three at the end of that highway. Go straight to Kitchener downtown (King St East) and turn left unto Victoria St. These street will be a slow drive due to traffic lights but this should be plowed not like other side streets. After you passed Victoria and Westmount, to the left is the green building you need to go to. Use the elevator and to to the basement. We tried using the stairs and we can't figure out how to go to basement.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Great! It's good to have a restaurant just in front of the clinic. You don't need to drive again. It seems you did your medical on the peak of the snow fall today.

Good everything is done and you just need to the doctor's email I guess.

In fact, I took the 407ETR from Mccowan to go straight Milton then after road connected with 401 but there were no traffic at all. However, I was stuck in Kitchener itself because of snow fall.

Luckily, I reached there around 11:55 then directly talked with Doctor that I need to return back the GTA and road was not good for driving and have 2 kids also.

He suggest me that we don't want to waste much time for you specially you are in bad weather.

He started with Urine test, Photo, Medical review of mine meanwhile they were ready with ticket, directly went to X-ray , Blood-test, back to clinic and he started medical examination for my wife and kids. He told me that wait for 30 min to verify everything then go home.

We have finished everything around 2:30. But, if he will find any issue in blood-test then we need to come back on Monday. But hopefully we won't.

BTW, he gave me discount of $20 b'cas came there in really bad weather.

My family was scarred and feared how can we reach to home b'cas snow was falling continuously in Kitchener and some roads were blocked. Then after, I joined 401 then, I took again 407ETR toward EAST.

That's what I've thought that you will be stuck during the snow fall. A lot of roads are blocked around that area due to construction.

He seems an understanding person and know about the whole process as well.

Is that an additional discount from the first discount when you booked your appointment?
