Class 5 license - medical exam

[frozenrice]

Anybody know if there are any walk-in clinics that can do a medical exam for a class 5 renewal? It's a few days before I can get in to see my regular doctor's office.

Any walk-in can do it, just call around.

that's what I'm discovering. my regular doctor's office won't do it on a walk in basis so I wasn't sure if it was just them. If I could wait I'd make an appointment but it's a few days wait before I can get in.

It varies on clinic policy/physician preference, hence why you have to call around. I personally have no issue doing them for walk in patients, unfortunately that doesn't help you out as I'm now a Vancouverite.

Medical for class 5?

Aren't medicals only for classes 1-3?

[nismodrifter]

Many reasons for a medical for class 5. Think medical conditions that may effect driving (diabetics, stroke patients, etc). I am unaware of OP's circumstances.

Website says 1,2,4 but I have actually phoned them to discuss particular situations and 5 does need a medical under particular circumstances.

I used the Shawnessy Medical Clinic when I first used here for my class 1. It will cost you $100 bucks

Prices range from 100-120.

Its all if the physician on duty is willing to do it at a clinic. Had mine done at the Sundance walk-in during the summer. But my normal Dr also works out of there.
