He is only a Capt after all.
Thanks for the replies! I just wanted to get an approximate time of how long the medical test would be. I was wondering If I could get to the interview 15-20 minutes early and have time to renew parking. At Toronto CFRC, I can only buy 3 hours parking max at one time.

With many tests, if often comes down to preparation. Have you studied? Practice peeing in a cup (make sure you get the right amount of pressure without risk of oversplash). Identify your weaknesses and concentrate on those. You may want to buy yourself some rubber gloves (forget the lub - this is the military after all)....

The recruiters work there too and know all about parking. I'm from Hamilton and before the interview started the Recruiting Officer conducting my interview asked if I had enough change in the meter, if I needed to go to the bathroom, or get a glass of water. They are human too and they do understand! You are panicking over very little, I promise! 
I'm not sure where you were planing on parking, but here is my suggestion:
The Sheppard Grande Mall is across the street from the CFRC Toronto, it has a very large underground parking lot that can be accessed from Doris Ave. I've parked in this lot every time - CFAT, both interviews, and both medicals. I also live in the city, and every time I frequent the area, I park in the underground mall parking lot without issue.
Relax, parking is not something you should be worrying about. Good Luck.

This is actually part of the test. Timings to get to the medical from your interview are recorded as your "best time". Usually they allow IIRC 9 minutes to get the 2.4 km (including some stairs...don't take the elevator....they will know).
Brush up on some history for the interview. Ensure you are familiar with The legion of Frontiersmen history and current org (http://www.frontiersmenhistorian.info/canada.htm)

Then park somewhere else.
Thanks for the info. Do you have any other sources that could help me during the interview.
Well, I just wanted to be sure. The reason I get nervous is because I want everything to go right.
That's a good idea. I'm not very familiar with the Downtown area but will check this place out in advance.
I have taken the TTC here many times but making it at 8:00 a.m. could be quite difficult. Also TTC can be quite unreliable sometimes and I don't know If I want to risk it.

I think he's just having some fun with you. But you should read up a bit on Military/CF History as well as current events- especially as they relate to your trade.
As someone who's taken many trips to the Toronto RC on the TTC I'd say it's a good bet. It can be unreliable, but above-ground traffic in this city is probably more unreliable. Delays of more than 15minutes on the Subway are exceedingly rare and almost always come with warning. If that's the case, just run up and catch a cab. As with any important appointment, just leave early (I know how early your appt. is but I guess you might as well get used to 5am wakeups).
Good luck,
