Yes, you can complete the medical exam in your home country. You only need to locate the nearest Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP): See http://www.cic.gc.ca/dmp-md/medical.aspx

The DMP who performs the medical, not you the applicant, is responsible for sending your medical results to CIC's Director of Health Programs in Ottawa for review.

Actually the DMP sends it to their usual Regional Medical Centre. There are 7 the RMC assesses it and uploads the results to the visa office specified on the medical IMM 1017.

You can have the exam at any DMP in the world.
