One Stop Immigration Medical
Unhurried immigration medicals for Bay Ridges seniors.
For older applicants, a comfortable visit matters. Bay Ridges residents can head east from the lakeshore to our Ajax clinic, where the physician exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray are all completed in one building.
Caring for Bay Ridges seniors
Fewer stops for older applicants.
Many Bay Ridges households include a parent or grandparent who would rather not spend the day moving between appointments. Our Ajax clinic keeps the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and chest X-ray in one building, which spares an older applicant extra walking and waiting.
Some seniors have enjoyed walks by Frenchman's Bay for decades, while others recently joined grown children living near the lake. Whatever brought them here, the application instructions determine the exam. Our team will confirm the booking, outline the records to bring and explain each step patiently.
Finding the right exam for an older applicant
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Bay Ridges residents of any age seeking permanent residence, or attending as a worker, student, visitor or refugee claimant. Have the applicant's IRCC instructions ready so we can arrange the correct appointment.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is a Bay Ridges relative moving to New Zealand? Full or partial medicals for older travellers can be completed at our Ajax clinic. Pass on the examination instructions so we can confirm which services they need.
- Embassy medicals
- Is a retirement or job move to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan on the horizon? Ask us about an embassy medical, and send the forms and testing requirements in advance.
Let the applicant's paperwork lead.
A friend from the waterfront may have had a different medical from the one your parent needs. Check whether the application asks for an upfront exam or one following a request. If IRCC has written, read the letter to us and mention any deadline when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
A comfortable visit in Ajax
What your parent can expect.
The whole medical happens in one building, so there is no need to drive between sites. Ask about the likely appointment length before arranging a ride home from Ajax, as extra reports or tests are needed from time to time.
Settle in at Suite 403
Present identification and instructions at the desk. Mention a renewed passport or a name written differently on older documents so the medical record lines up.
Speak with the doctor
The physician asks about long-term conditions, daily medications and care from specialists. Older applicants can raise concerns, ask for things to be repeated or request help with moving around.
Take the required tests
Staff walk your parent through each test their case requires. Bloodwork is done on site and the chest X-ray is in the same building, so there is no second trip for a senior.
Review the next steps together
Keep the eMedical information sheet in a safe place at home. Ask whether anything is outstanding, then follow the application's instructions for showing proof of the exam.
Getting ready at home in Bay Ridges
Gather records without rushing.
Seniors often have years of prescriptions and reports, so sort them a few days ahead instead of the morning of. If a couple is attending together, give each person a separate folder. Check that each passport belongs to the person carrying it.
Specialist records from cardiologists or other doctors do not reach our clinic automatically, so bring copies. Tell us ahead of time if your parent needs language support, a wheelchair, a walker or a relative in the room. Comfortable shoes and loose clothing help, and follow any instructions we send.
Read the full exam preparation guideWhat a senior should bring
- A valid passport or other identification acceptable for the medical.
- The request letter or form, if received, and the application's instructions.
- A complete medication list including vitamins, names and doses.
- Recent specialist letters, hospital summaries or past test results.
- Reading glasses, contacts or hearing aids if normally used.
- Current coverage documentation when seeking refugee claimant coverage.
Fees for Bay Ridges applicants
Know the cost for a parent's medical.
Check the age bands below to see what an older applicant's medical costs. A grandparent and a grandchild may need different tests, so request the full total if several relatives are booking. Ask the clinic separately about embassy medicals and further investigations.
Ages 11–14
$200
Physician examination and chest X-ray. Bloodwork is not routinely required for this age group.
Ages 15+
$250
Physician examination, blood testing and chest X-ray are part of standard testing for this age group.
Payment options
Payment is by cash or debit, and a credit card brings a $10 transaction fee. Ask about pricing for any additional tests the physician may request.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants in Bay Ridges should call with Blue Cross coverage details ahead of the visit. Bring the claimant's valid documents too, so the team can confirm eligibility and which services apply.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Once you are home by the lake
Following up without worry.
Finishing the visit is one step, and submitting the file is another. The clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical once each required exam and report is in. Keep the information sheet with the applicant's other immigration papers.
Allow two weeks before phoning about the submission. That period is the clinic's follow-up guideline and is unrelated to IRCC processing times. If another report or test is needed, we will explain it clearly. Tell us if the best phone number for your parent changes.
Our team can talk you through where the clinic's submission stands. Your parent's IRCC account is where application updates appear. The panel physician provides medical findings, and IRCC makes the final decision on the exam and application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
A copy for the family doctor
Order a results copy?
When the case has gone through submission, families may order the results as an electronic copy. Asking for one is optional and has nothing to do with how the clinic submits through eMedical.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
The copy covers the immigration test results completed for the case. If your parent's family doctor in Pickering wants to review it, bring the report to their next appointment.
Order your resultsLeaving the lakeshore for Ajax
From Bay Ridges to Rossland Road East.
Our clinic is at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. Free on-site parking makes drop-off simpler. Keep the suite number with the appointment card so you can go directly to check-in.
Bay Ridges sits on the east side of Frenchman's Bay near Lake Ontario, and Kingston Road or Highway 401 both carry drivers east to Ajax. Use the complete Rossland Road East address for directions. If a son, daughter or friend is driving, agree on where they will wait or pick up afterwards.

Language support for older applicants.
Seniors often feel more at ease discussing health in their first language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before the visit to check availability or to arrange for a family interpreter to come.
Booking parents and grandchildren together?
Give us the age of each person and how many medicals are required. If mobility needs, school runs or a single driver shape your day, let us know so the team can find suitable times.
