IOM Medical Center Experience
Hi guys! For those who are applying for a student visa or needed to have a medical examination for the Canada Visa. One of your options is to have a medical examination at their tie-up medical center or hospitals.
Firstly, I schedule an appointment with them through their Smart mobile number. Just text them that you want to set an appointment for a medical examination.
Note: Scheduling an appointment, you may call them on their landline number but for their mobile number they don’t entertain calls so you have to text them. (See below for details).
They’ll text you with a confirming receipt to your text meaning they’ll give you the available schedules for the examination. To schedule via text, fill out the form that they’ll gonna send it to you (if you’re applying with a family member, you have to send it separately)
If IOM already confirmed your schedule and you’re all set then you can now have your medical examination. Be early as possible since IOM caters UK and Canada applicants.
Around 8:45A.M, I arrived at IOM Medical Center. I logged in and surrender my valid ID at the lobby; I got the visitor’s pass and went up to the 15th floor where IOM Medical Center is located. The staff asked for my name and given me a form to fill up and asked to wait for my Cue no. (60) to be called it also has a Canada label on it because they also have United Kingdom applicants.
While waiting I prepared for the necessary documents needed:
1. Letter of Request for Medical from CIC
2. Passport (and a photocopy)
3. 3 Passport sized
4. Government ID (and a photocopy) I brought my Driver’s License with me
After a few minutes they called for my number and I gave them they asked for and they took a photo of me. I was asked to pay at the Cashier (Php10,000) and return to front desk and the lady instructed me for the next step which is Door 11 where they check for my blood pressure, weight, height, vision then asked several questions then I proceed to Door 7 and assessed by the doctor and went to Door 5 for urine sample then Door 1 for chest x-ray and then Door 2 the nurse collected 2 blood samples then lastly I went back to Door 7 for physical examination.
Then after all the examination, they instructed me to follow-up with them after 10 working days. The results will be forwarded directly to the embassy within 21 days if there were no problems with the exam.
