About medical:
One of my friends/senior forum members, MI-2, got his medical done last week from Islamabad IOM. They gave him appointment after 3 days. And cost was 3650 rupees (for one person). Usual tests, .....blood, urine, chest x-ray.... He said it was a local doctor and he asked him regular questions like , do u smoke, do u drink, did u or anyone in family have TB, what do u do, why r u going to canada, etc etc. There were about 6 families there...only immigration related patients, no regular patients....some for canada, some for UK....the whole medical thing took 3 hours.
I'm impressed waisay with IOM. I was expecting it ll have more rush and will give long appointments...Since someone who got medicals done in June from Hameed Lateef hospital lahore told me they gave him appointment of 8 days, and took 6 hours for the whole thing...(Coz they had immigration patients+regular patients too)
Just thought of sharing this info.
