A local panel clinic for Discovery Bay
Wherever you are headed, start nearby.
Not every medical we see from Discovery Bay is about staying in Canada. Some residents are moving overseas for work, some need an embassy medical and others are completing a Canadian application. Whatever the destination, our Ajax clinic offers the physician exam, on-site bloodwork and chest X-rays in the same building.
The country you are applying to decides what the exam involves, so begin with the instructions it gave you. Share them with our team and we will book the correct appointment, confirm the documents you need and explain the visit from start to finish.
Three types of medical
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Discovery Bay residents applying to IRCC for permanent residence, a work or study permit, visitor status or refugee protection where a medical is required. Bring your IRCC request so we can match the booking.
- New Zealand medicals
- Relocating from Discovery Bay to New Zealand? The Ajax clinic performs both full and partial medicals. Tell us which one your instructions mention and send them ahead so the right services are lined up.
- Embassy medicals
- Our clinic also handles embassy medicals for Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand and Taiwan. Forward the forms and required tests for your destination before we arrange a date.
Name the country when you call.
Requirements set by one country do not carry over to another. For a Canadian file, check whether you need an upfront exam or one after IRCC sends a request. For any medical, tell our Ajax team which country it is for and share any deadline you have been given.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Your visit to Suite 403
From arrival to finished exam.
The exam and required testing all take place at a single address, which helps if you are also packing up a home or finishing a job. Ask about the expected length of the visit before you book other appointments, because extra reports or investigations can be requested.
Start at reception
Present your identification and the instructions or forms for your medical. If a document shows your name in a different form, or you have just received a new passport, say so at check-in.
See the panel physician
The doctor goes through your medical history, medicines and current treatment. Ask about anything specific to your destination's exam, or mention support that would make the visit easier.
Finish your testing
You will be told which tests your exam requires. Bloodwork happens on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, so the testing can be wrapped up in one outing.
Check before you go
For a Canadian medical, keep your eMedical information sheet. Whatever your destination, ask whether anything is outstanding and follow your instructions for supplying proof of the exam.
Getting ready in Discovery Bay
Keep each country's paperwork apart.
If you are dealing with more than one application, it is easy to grab the wrong form. Keep a dedicated folder for the medical you are attending, holding your passport, the request or instruction letter and your health records. Check that the identification matches the person being examined.
Bring copies of relevant medical records, as the clinic will not have them unless you provide them. Let us know before your appointment if you would like another language, need mobility assistance or are bringing someone with you. Wear comfortable clothes and follow any preparation instructions the clinic or your destination country gives.
Read the full exam preparation guideBefore you leave the house
- Your passport or other identification acceptable for the medical you are attending.
- The request letter, forms or examination instructions for your specific application.
- A written medication list giving the name and dose of each item.
- Specialist correspondence, relevant reports or results of past tests.
- Glasses or contact lenses, if they are part of your daily routine.
- Proof of refugee claimant coverage, if that applies to your Canadian file.
Fees for Discovery Bay patients
Understand the cost of your exam.
The age bands below cover the fee for each person attending. If family members are also booking, their tests and fees may vary, so request a total. Embassy medicals are priced separately, as are any extra investigations, so discuss them directly with the clinic.
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
Whatever country the exam is for, payment works the same way: cash or debit, or credit card plus a $10 transaction fee. If your exam calls for further testing, ask the team about its cost.
Refugee claimant coverage
Discovery Bay residents who are refugee claimants should contact us with their Blue Cross coverage details before the appointment. Bring valid documents on the day so the team can check eligibility and covered services.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
After your exam
Where your results go next.
Your appointment may end before the medical file is finished. For Canadian immigration medicals, our clinic submits through eMedical once the required examination and reports are complete. Keep any information sheet with your application documents.
Allow two weeks before you call to ask about your submission. This is the clinic's guideline for follow-up, not an IRCC processing time. If another report or test is needed, we will let you know what remains. If you are moving soon, make sure we have contact details you will still be using.
To ask whether the clinic has sent in your Canadian medical, get in touch with our staff. For a Canadian application, follow its progress in your IRCC account. The panel physician provides the medical findings, while IRCC makes the decision on the exam and the application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your own records
Taking a copy with you?
If you would like to pack your results along with your other moving papers, an electronic copy can be ordered once the case is submitted. Choosing to order one does not alter the eMedical submission in any way.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
Packed with your relocation papers, the copy records each immigration test from your Ajax visit. It can be handy if you want to talk about a result with your doctor in Ajax before you move.
Order your resultsTravelling from Discovery Bay
Stay local for your medical.
Come to Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. Parking at the building is free, which is one less detail to sort out in a busy moving season. Add the suite number to your appointment notes so you can head directly to reception.
Discovery Bay is an Ajax neighbourhood, so reaching the clinic is a local journey. Search for the full Rossland Road East address, check your route the day before and allow time to reach the suite before the booking. If someone is driving you, share the address and agree when they will return.

Language help before you relocate.
Medical terms can be confusing, so it helps to use a language you trust. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call us ahead of time to check who is available, or to let us know an interpreter will join you.
Is the whole family relocating?
Share the ages of everyone who needs a medical and which country each exam is for. If moving dates, school terms or work notice periods limit your options, tell the team so suitable appointment times can be discussed.
