hi guys! just did my medical exam at Nationwide and I wanna share my experience here so others can benefit from this information. here we go -
i arrived at Nationwide clinic at around 10:30am. It was about a 10-15 min brisk walk from the Canadian Embassy (RCBC Plaza). When I got there, there was no line up at all. They asked for my passport, 2 photocopies of my passport (photocopies weren't used at all so why did they ask?? i don't know), and 7 ID photos... i repeat... 7... 3 for the Canadian Embassy (i guess) and 4 for the forms that are going to be filled up at the clinic. i thought i only needed 3 so i had to go take a quick stop at a photographer (they have one at the same building). only took 5mins and 100 pesos to produce 8 copies of ID photos. and from then on, it was a breeze! the whole process could've been done by an hour and a half but unfortunately after doing my pee exam, the lab technician had to go on lunch break. so i had to wait another hour for him to test my urine. and that was it! it was ok not to fast (i had a big breakfast before going to the clinic) and the doctor that did my physical was not canadian. and finally, i need to return after a week to get my medical results and the form that'll be submitted with my application.
by the way, i'm applying for PR under the Family Class sponsorship. this whole process might be different if you guys are doing a different application! all the best and good luck to us all!!
