Can Medical be done in a different country

A friend of mine who works in the US (H1B) recently went to his home country
for getting his H1 renewed and in the meantime got his medical forms for
Canadian Immigration at his US address. The US embassy is taking a long time
for renewing the visa (4 months now) and he wants to get his medicals done
ASAP. He can't return to the US without his visa and passport so is it
possible that he gets the medical exam in another country by the designated
doctor for that country?

How much time does one have for sending the medical exam report, before the
application is rejected ?

Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Usually get about a 60-90 day warning.
