Thanks to all who responded. I looked up some walk in clinics and labs in the Provinces on my itinerary, before leaving the US and called a few as well. Bottom line is that it you may need stay in on place for a week or two, while you organize the doctor visit, do the labs and return for the results. I can provide more details, if anyone is planning extended travel in Canada. if your moving location fairly frequently, it’s more challenging. FYI, I purchased a separate international insurance that is quite reasonable for those unplanned more serious events.

Thank you Kirk. Im glad to hear that you have been traveling with a chronic condition full time for 12 years. That's wonderful. We have been doing similar for six years; but only two years full time and the rest a few months per year. So we have completed the doctor review and prescription meds planning as we routinely do for all our travels. We don't foresee any need for a Canadian doctor, except in the case of new or unexpected developments. Hence the reason for the Travel Health insurance. So, we are hoping to hear from RVers who have experience with travel medical insurance plans and routine lab work in Canada. So on your similar trip to Canada, did you have travel medical insurance or have a need for routine bloodwork? Thanks again and Happy Travels Charlie

We’re doing a three month trip with our camper, to Canada in the provinces of Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Due to a chronic illness and pre-existing conditions, we are researching travel health insurance options and walk in lab availability, for routine bloodwork, in the above provinces. We would love to hear from any fellow RVers with such experience in Canada. Happy travels! Charlie and Nathalie
