Does any1 know if u can do ur medical check in Iraq Baghdad now!!! T
He no you can't sadly, that doctor office they have listed is still not valid cause the doctor that used to do the checks retire or left or something. My husband called in, in May and they told him they don't. If you check the website it says the last update they did on that page was in 2008. But if I were you call that number and ask them if they do!

http://www.cic.gc.ca/dmp-md/medicalinfo.aspx?CountryID=2006&CountryName=Iraq

wait till after this week though, cause it's ashura in Iraq so everything is closed right now. I would say call on Saturday when they start work again!

Good luck!

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900E9.asp

Here is a list of common factors that can slow the processing of your application.
•Incomplete or unsigned application forms
•Incorrect, incomplete address or failure to notify CPC-M of a change of address
•Missing documents
•Unclear photocopies of documents
•Documents not accompanied by a certified English or French translation
•Investigation of sponsors by CIC
•Verification of information and documents provided (e.g., there may be lengthy procedures for background checks in the countries where the applicant or his or her family members have lived or need for a second interview for additional background screening)
•A medical condition that may require additional tests or consultations
•A criminal or security problem (e.g., failure to declare family members or criminal charges pending)
•Family situations such as impending divorce, custody or maintenance issues
•Completion of legal adoption
•Consultation is required with other offices in Canada and abroad
Inquiring about the status of your application before the standard processing time has elapsed
•The applicant is not a permanent resident of the country in which he/she currently lives
•The applicant or his or her family members require an interview and lives in an area not regularly visited by immigration officials
•Photos provided by the principal applicant and his or her family members do not comply with specifications set out in Appendix C accompanying The Immigrant's Guide

OMG! We have sent them one e-mail after 6 months of silence. That means dont ask us if you do, we will slow down the process for you.Is that right?This is insane, you know what I am really thinking of getting back to my country.I just want to let anything that is going to happen just happen .I dont care anymore.
I am getting depressed :'(
