One Stop Immigration Medical
Rural Columbus, with a medical to plan.
When home is in the countryside north of Oshawa, a medical is a proper outing. Our Ajax clinic keeps the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and a chest X-ray in the same building, so one drive can cover your application's needs.
Columbus and rural north Oshawa
Make one longer drive count.
Living in Columbus means most errands involve the car, and a medical spread across separate offices could mean several trips south. At our Ajax clinic, you see a panel physician and complete bloodwork in one suite, with chest X-rays in the same building, so a single outing can take care of the testing.
Some rural households include farm or agricultural workers, while others are families who chose country living within Oshawa. Whatever your situation, read the instructions attached to your application first. Our team will help you book the right medical and tell you what to bring.
Find your medical type
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Columbus residents applying for permanent residence, or needing a medical for work, study, a visit or a refugee claim. Keep any IRCC request close by when you phone.
- New Zealand medicals
- Moving from rural Oshawa to New Zealand? Columbus applicants can complete a full or partial medical here in a single trip. Send your examination instructions ahead so we can confirm the services your application needs.
- Embassy medicals
- Ask about an embassy medical for Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan. Forward the destination's forms and testing requirements before you plan the drive.
Avoid a wasted trip.
With a longer drive, booking the wrong exam costs more than time. Check whether your application asks for an upfront medical or one after an IRCC request. If a letter has arrived in the mail, tell our team about it and its deadline when you call, so the appointment you book is the one you need.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Once you reach the clinic
How your Ajax visit unfolds.
Grouped testing means a Columbus patient should not need to come back for imaging on another day. Ask how long the visit usually takes before planning chores or work around it, since extra reports or investigations are occasionally required.
Check in with your papers
At Suite 403, present your identification and medical documents. Your file is created from these, so mention any difference in name spelling or a passport issued recently.
Talk through your health
The panel physician asks about your history, medications and any ongoing treatment. Let the physician know about any worries or support you need during the examination.
Testing under one roof
Our team explains which tests apply to you. Bloodwork is on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, saving you a second long drive from Columbus.
Leave with everything clear
Keep your eMedical information sheet. Ask whether anything is outstanding before you set off home, then follow your application instructions for providing proof of the exam.
Before setting out
Double-check before you leave the driveway.
Turning around halfway to Ajax for a passport is a long detour from rural Oshawa. Lay out each person's identification, request letter and records the evening before, in separate labelled folders. Check them once more before you start the car.
Bring copies of relevant records, including any from a doctor outside Oshawa, as the clinic does not receive them automatically. Let us know in advance about language support, mobility needs or a companion attending with you. Wear comfortable clothes suited to the weather and follow any preparation instructions given to you.

- A passport or accepted identification for the immigration medical.

- Your reading or distance glasses, or contacts, packed before you lock up.
- Valid refugee claimant coverage documents for anyone in the vehicle who is relying on them.
Fees for Columbus residents
Confirm costs before the drive.
Fees follow the age bands below, so work out the amount for each person coming. Different family members may need different tests, so confirm the total when you book. Talk to us separately about the price of an embassy medical or any added investigation.

Ages 15+
$250

Payment options
Bring cash or your debit card from home; paying by credit card adds a $10 transaction fee to the bill. Ask about the cost of any extra testing requested for your case.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants in Columbus should call before the visit with their Blue Cross coverage details. Carry the valid documents with you so eligibility and the covered services can be sorted out at the desk.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Home in Columbus
What happens after the drive back.
Your appointment is complete, but your medical file may not be yet. Once every required piece is complete, including any reports, the Ajax clinic files your Canadian medical through eMedical. Keep the information sheet with your application papers at home.
Allow two weeks before calling the clinic to ask about your submission. This is our follow-up guideline, not an IRCC processing time. If another test or report is needed, we will explain what is outstanding. If mobile reception is patchy where you live, give us a reliable phone number or email.
Ask our team about the clinic's submission and check your IRCC account for your application's progress. While the panel physician reports what the examination found, it is IRCC that rules on the medical and on your application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Keeping your own records
Keep results in your home records?
An electronic copy can be requested after submission and read at home, with no second drive needed. Getting one is optional, and the clinic's eMedical submission stands on its own either way.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
Each immigration test you completed in Ajax appears on the copy. If you would like your family doctor to review a result, keep the report available for your next visit.
Order your resultsFrom rural north Oshawa to Ajax
Plan the longer drive.
Head to Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. The clinic has no Oshawa branch, and once you arrive you can park free at the building. Write down the suite number in case your phone signal drops on the way.
From the north end of Oshawa, Highway 407 is one way to head west, and Highway 401 runs through Whitby to Ajax further south. Rural roads can be affected by snow in winter, so check conditions before leaving. Enter the full Rossland Road East address and allow plenty of extra time.
