Physician examination. Bloodwork and chest X-rays are not routinely required for this age group.
One Stop Immigration Medical
Cornell families, your medicals are in Ajax.
East Markham sits closer to Durham than much of the city, which makes our Ajax clinic a practical choice. Children and adults can complete the physician exam and bloodwork with us, and chest X-rays are handled in the same building.
Welcoming households from Cornell
Medicals for Cornell parents and their little ones.
When a Cornell household applies together, an immigration medical can involve every member, from parents to the youngest child. One Stop Immigration Medical operates from Ajax, not Markham, and our panel physicians examine children and adults with bloodwork on site and chest X-rays in the building.
Each family member's instructions should be checked on their own, even when everyone applies together. Phone us with those documents and our staff will help line up the bookings, suggest what to pack for the children and explain what happens at each stage.
Picking the medical for each person
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Cornell residents applying for permanent residence, or needing a medical as a worker, student, visitor or refugee claimant. Have each person's IRCC paperwork on hand when you call to book.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is your Cornell family relocating to New Zealand? Cornell families can book full and partial medicals at our Ajax clinic. Forward the examination instructions for each applicant so we can confirm the services.
- Embassy medicals
- Is the family bound for Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan instead? We can talk through an embassy medical once you send the destination's forms and the list of tests it asks for.
One household, several sets of rules.
A parent's medical and a toddler's medical may not be requested in the same way. Find out whether each person needs an upfront exam or is responding to a request. Mention any IRCC letter and its deadline, and we will try to fit the family around nap times and the drive from Cornell.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Bringing children to the clinic
What the visit looks like for families.
Keeping the exam and testing in one building means fewer car seat changes and less waiting in between. Ask how long a family visit usually runs, and pack snacks for the children, because a further report or investigation can sometimes add time.
Check everyone in
Reception will need identification and paperwork for each child and adult. Point out any name spelled differently across documents, or a passport that was renewed recently.
Speak with the physician
A parent can describe a young child's health history, vaccinations and medication. Older children and adults are encouraged to share their own questions about the examination.
Finish the tests together
Staff will say which tests each person needs based on age and instructions. Blood is drawn on site and chest X-rays are done in the same building, so the family stays in one place.
Sort out the paperwork
Store each person's eMedical information sheet separately. Ask whether any test or report is still outstanding before buckling the kids in, and follow your instructions for sharing proof.
The night before in Cornell
Pack for the children, then the documents.
Mornings with kids rarely go to plan, so set out the folders the evening before. Give each family member their own labelled pouch with a passport and request letter. Add a book or small toy for the waiting room to keep younger children settled.
Your paediatrician's or family doctor's files are not sent to our Ajax clinic, so bring copies of anything important, including vaccination records if you have them. Let us know in advance about language needs, mobility support or a child who finds medical visits stressful. Dress everyone comfortably and follow any personal instructions given.

Planning costs for a Cornell family
Add up each age band.
Fees depend on the age band of each person, as shown below. A school-age child and a grandparent can need different tests, so ask the team for the family total on the phone. Talk to the clinic separately about embassy medicals or further investigations for anyone in the family.
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
We take cash and debit; a $10 transaction fee applies if you pay by credit card. Ask the team about pricing if your case calls for more testing.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimant families in Cornell should share their Blue Cross details with us before the appointment. Bring valid documents for each person so eligibility and covered services can be checked.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
After the family heads home
Tracking several medical files.
Your visit is done, but each medical file still has to be completed. The Ajax clinic sends Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical after the required exam and reports are finished for that person. Keep every information sheet with the matching application.
Wait two weeks before phoning us for an update on submission. The two weeks are a clinic guideline for follow-up, not IRCC processing time. If any family member needs another report or test, we will explain what is outstanding. If your phone number or email changes after the visit, please tell us.
If you wonder whether the clinic has submitted a family member's file, ask our team. Follow each application through your IRCC account. The panel physician supplies the findings, and IRCC makes the final decision on the medical exam and application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Copies for the household
Need copies for the family?
When a case has been submitted, you may ask for an electronic copy for your records. Requesting one is optional and does not affect the eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
Each copy shows the immigration tests done for that person's case. If your child's doctor in Markham wants to go over a result, keep the report handy for that appointment.

Where to bring the family.
There is no clinic in Markham; please come to Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. Free parking at the building helps when you are unloading strollers and car seats. Keep the suite number on your phone so you can go straight up.
Cornell's position in east Markham gives drivers a head start toward Durham Region, with Highway 407 and Highway 401 the usual routes. Enter the full Rossland Road East address before leaving and plan time for a bathroom stop or a fussy toddler. If a relative is driving, confirm the pickup plan beforehand.
Using transit with children? York Region Transit trips into Durham require connections, so check the full journey and return before heading out. Plan your trip with York Region Transit
Language support for the whole family.
Parents can explain a child's health more easily in the language they use at home. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before the visit to check availability or to arrange for an interpreter to join you.
How many medicals does your family need?
Tell us how many people are attending and each person's age. If school drop-off, a baby's feeding schedule or a second parent's work shift shapes your day, mention it so the team can talk through appointment times.
