Hi there. Anyone else here who's migrating to Canada from Malaysia?
Also can anyone explain what exactly they do during the medical examination?

The experience will apparently vary from doctor to doctor and patient to patient. if you have no relevant medical history (High blood pressure, Diabetes, STDs etc), it should be a straight forward process. Specifically, mine consisted of a Blood pressure,heart rate, height and weight measurement, eye test, hearing test, oral and throat examination and urine test with a dipstick to check for glucose, proteins (can't remember the last thing) in urine.(Please make sure you drink lots of water about 3 days before the test, so you don't get a false positive urine test; just an advice).
Thereafter, you'll go for a chest x-ray, as well as a blood test for HIV and syphilis.
That's all I can remember, p'haps someone else can share their experience.
