How long does it take to get the medical exam done??

Read the instructions, you submit the police certificates and the medical examination receipt with the application.

Thanks PMM...
Do you know if they take too long to make an appointment?? I'm startin to think that this is gonna take forever and i didn't start the process yet... my visitor visa expires on february the 28th, we are going to apply for an extension of my visa... what do u guys think?? Will they give it to me??
I'm so scared of everything, i don't wanna be an illegal immigrant but i wanna be with my husband...

I got my medical exam done in Ottawa. I looked on the CIC website at the list of medical practitioners and called around. Some didn't have appointments for a month or so, but the one place had an appointment for me the following week. I had this done this past August. I also had to take along 4 Canadian sized passport photos, so be sure to ask the Dr. what photos are required.
