Medical Examination for Canadian Visa?

I don't know how they accept it... they probably have a mailing address for immigration related documents. Make sure your case number is all over it, so they don't lose it.

This will cost you about 3 months (so I have heard) I think I will have the same problem soon with my wife. The form that the doctor fills out does not go to Bogotá... it goes to come centralized place where they verify all health checks from around the globe. They then courier to Bogotá with their results/recomondations. Your copy, you have to send it to the embassy. Then, of course, your file, and your life, is just put on hold until someone decides its time to pick up the file again.

if it's any help.. when the oldgringo was in the same position,
two days before expiry,
he went to the embassy, with the applicant waiting
downstairs, at 8 am sharp, with all files in hand,
and requested an interview, at which time the visa officer took note of the pending medical expiry, explained that we would have to wait until it expired, wait until they notified us in writing to have it renewed, and only then could they recieve it through the same original route through trinidad.
that sucked!! the officer looked at the files on hand,
looked us up and down, and asked if we could leave with 48 hrs.
you betcha!!!! at 2 pm. the visa pr visa was in hand....adios!!
