Hi BC/Kiev.
Can I ask you a question about medical process in Kiev that your mother in law had recently in July.
Just quick info, my parents finally receive documents to do medical. They are from Ukraine and the medical will be done in Kiev.
Any advice, recommendations from your mother in-law. How much money do they need to have, how long does it takes and so on...
Please let me know as much as you can.
Thank you in advance.

The medical cost about 3,000 grivna, this was in July. Could be a bit different now with the currency fluctuations. The whole process took about 3 hours. When we got the letter to go for medical exam, they were also talking about more photos. Turns out the photos were unnecessary as the photos were taken at the clinic in Kiev.
Need to book well in advance!! She tried for the soonest appointment, and it was a month away. I suggest your parents call the clinic ASAP to make an appointment, figure out the payment arrangements, photo requirements, and details on any medical records they would have to bring with them. Seems like the people at the clinic were pretty good at spelling out everything that was needed. One suggestion: don't volunteer too much information.
Once the medicals were done, everything moved quickly. Meds done on July 25, in process Sept 10, decision made Sept 25. She dropped her passport off at the embassy on Friday, October 3. On the following Tuesday, the embassy called to say it was ready and made arrangements to send the passport by courier. Thursday, October 9, the passport was delivered to her apartment in the Dnepropetrovsk area, and she will be here in a few weeks!
The courier service was great, cost only 60 grivna (one way). You could also have the passport couriered to the embassy, but we never did this.
Was your application done through Ottawa also?
Good luck!
