I have barely just scratched the surface of how involved the application process is for permanent residency to Canada...

I have been looking over the information on the CIC Canada website, and it gives some directions for taking the medical exam. 

If I have this right, I take the medical exam AFTER I have sent in the application package to the visa office?  Do I wait for instructions from the visa office before doing the exam?  Do I have to have some kind of receipt to take to the medical exam with me?  How much does it cost?  I will be going in Chicago, where I live now. 

For those of you that have done the exam, what does it involve?  Is it just like a regular physical or is it more complex??? 

Thanks for any help!

No, if it is a spousal application you do the medical before the application is submitted.  As well you submit the police certificates as well.  You make an appointment with an DMP and take a copy of the appendix D from the application package with you.  Phone the DMP and ask the price, shop around. 
See  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/pub/dmp-handbook.pdf  page 12 and the amendments for the tests required.

PMM-

Thanks for reply...

Do you know what the medical exam involves?  Is it a straight forward physical or do they conduct all sorts of tests?  I am a healthy 29 year old woman so I hope it would be pretty simple. 

Unfortunately, there are only two approved doctors in the Chicago area so I can't really shop around.
