Kendle Inc www.studies4u.com/ListTrials.phpNote that 4 of these companies share a volunteers database called RSVP with fingerprint technology to make sure that volunteers are not participating in many studies and respecting their washout period. Those are: Pharma Medica, Biopharma, Lambda and Cetero. Add Kendle/INC Research to the list of clinics using clinicalRSVP. Was there today and they stated that they added it as of January 2017.

Do the places in Toronto use VCT? Yes most do. 2 places supposedly don't(Apotex and Inflammax), I don't know as I haven't done a study at Apotex in 15 years and have never done one in Mississauga. Apotex claims they never will. Inflamax has them on site but do not use them. Don't know when they will suddenly switch!

I did another study at Biopharma and the company screwed up on the final cheque and all subjects had return at noon for their final payment. For some people they were from out of province or leaving the country so this was a pain in the butt. Also they didn't compensate the subjects for travel expenses(not even a bus fare). Like I said before this company is pretty poor and imo should only be used as a last resort. The only benefit they have is you can book a physical a few days before a study and not have to worry about getting a sickness a month during flu season. Most other companies make you take physicals two or three weeks in advance of a study.

At most places, picking it up is just a privilege for folks in a hurry, and if they dont pick it up immediately it gets mailed.

Does anyone know if you need a work visa to do a med study in Canada if you are a US citizen?

Does anyone know if you need a work visa to do a med study in Canada if you are a US citizen? Good question. I cant say for certain, but I learned today that here in the US, they don't consider it "work". They told me I was "not rendering any sort of service". Yes, I actually research this with government workers. lol I like to understand things exactly, sometimes. I'm guessing maybe someone here has done it, and can let you knw for certain, but I'm strongly leaning "no". ....you know, if your phone plan allows calls to Canada, you could call and have an answer quickly! If you didnt mind waiting a little longer, you could also email. Please let us know! (PK, trying to find solutions!)

You do need some sort of health care insurance, but it can be just Blue Cross coverage(or so I was told). One good benefit the Canadian dollar has been rising against the US greenback so the value of studies has risen in the past few months.

I found out last month that Apotex no longer does studies at their facility just north of the Biopharma property. Supposedly it's a permanent thing, but they are still doing studies they are just contracting out their drug studies. As they were one of the companies that didn't do the finger scan, only one is left in the Toronto area that doesn't do the finger scan.
PS I forgot to mention that if anybody wants to do studies in Toronto AirBnB has made available cheaper short term rentals in the tight Toronto housing market. If you use this website you will find cheaper rooms that have largely been phased out of the Toronto area due to gentrification.
Even university housing is tight in the non school year at the moment as many refugees have been housed in these units. Traditionally universities and community colleges have discounted the rooms in the summer months due to high vacancy rates.

So I told biophrama today that I smoke occasionally(my bad) and I am thinking to apply for Lambada and tell them I am a non smoker. Do u think they share info about patients(so Lambada will know I'm lying) or just check my fingerprint so they know I am not participating in another study at the same time

no. i think even in canada they don't share your medical details. however, if you smoke, your system will have conie or whatever they call it, so they will know. unless it's been a couple of months.

So Canadian studies pay less; then I realized they are showing Canadian dollars which are about 76% of US dollars, which means many of the studies there might not cover even fairly meager travel and lodging and food expenses, and the Canadian government is even more permissive and feeble and fellatious in their "oversight" of the clinics than in the US.
Good to know.

Good to know. On the plus side, there is no tax on studies in Canada like there is in the US. That's a big savings but most studies in the US pay pretty well these days so it's still likely better to stay in the US.
