    you need to go to the ontario Drive test centre and ask for the medical form. Take it to a doctor. Mine charged me $35 yesturday I've had it upwards of $60. I have a AZ and have to get a new one done every 5 years. They check basically everything over make sure your fit to drive. eyes, hearing, reflexes, heart ask you a million questions of you past medical history. but fairly basic and easy.

    Lol, don't think so. I only go to him for my drivers medical. Don't think he's to smart when it comes to real medical questions

    That's reassuring - maybe you should ask him if he want's to be a truck driver ?

    On that note - I probably could have been a doctor - I just didn't have the patients ! Yuk Yuk

    $95 near montreal. Took about 5mins. I think all he did was ask some questions and maybe listen to my breathing. Some crap like that.

    Just had my latest medical done. Free. Annual and bi-annual check-ups done by my family GP. She just fills in the boxes every few years when I bring in that sheet. And yes, I know, not everyone has a GP. My family and I consider ourselves VERY lucky. We have had a great GP for many years. We may be in a bind soon thoo as she is nearing retirement.
