Physician examination. Bloodwork and chest X-rays are not routinely required for this age group.
One Stop Immigration Medical
A Downtown Pickering commute, one medical stop.
Busy weekdays leave little room for extra errands. Our Ajax clinic sits a short way east of Downtown Pickering, and your panel physician exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray are all handled in a single building.
For commuters living in Downtown Pickering
Fit the medical around your working week.
Plenty of Downtown Pickering households run on train timetables, early alarms and long days at the office. Rather than juggling a lab in one place and imaging in another, you can complete the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and a chest X-ray during one visit to our Ajax clinic.
Some residents have just signed a lease near the GO station, while others have watched the city centre grow around them for years. What matters is the medical your application describes. We will confirm the right appointment type, tell you which papers to gather and explain each stage of the examination.
Picking the medical that fits your file
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Downtown Pickering residents applying for permanent residence, or needing an exam as a worker, student, visitor or refugee claimant. Keep your IRCC paperwork nearby when you call so we can book correctly.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is a move from Downtown Pickering to New Zealand in the works? Our Ajax location handles both full and partial New Zealand medicals. Pass along your instructions so we can see which services are required.
- Embassy medicals
- Relocating to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan for work? Get in touch about an embassy medical, and send us the country's forms and testing list ahead of booking.
Book from your instructions, not the office chatter.
A colleague on the morning train may describe an exam that differs from yours. Find out whether you are booking an upfront medical or responding to a formal request. If an IRCC letter has arrived, mention it and any deadline when you contact us from Downtown Pickering.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Your morning at the Ajax clinic
Here is how the appointment unfolds.
Each part of the medical is handled in one building, which helps when you are squeezing the visit between commutes. Ask about the usual appointment length before you block off your calendar, since further reports or tests are sometimes requested.
Register at the desk
Arrive at Suite 403 with your identification and exam paperwork in hand. Flag any recent passport renewal or spelling difference so your file reflects your documents exactly.
Review your health history
The panel physician goes over past conditions, medications you take and care you receive elsewhere. Speak up if you have questions or would like a particular accommodation.
Have the tests done
Staff tell you which tests are needed for your case. Blood samples are taken on site and the chest X-ray is in the same building, so no second stop is needed before work.
Confirm what comes next
Tuck the eMedical information sheet into your work bag so it makes it home safely. Ask whether any item is still outstanding, then follow your application's directions for showing proof of the exam.
Getting ready the evening before
Pack the folder with your work bag.
Commuters often grab a laptop bag and head out the door, so set your medical papers beside it the night before. If a partner is attending as well, keep their passport and request letter in a separate folder. Double-check that each ID matches the person who will use it.
Your doctor may be in Downtown Pickering or near your workplace, yet their files are not shared with our clinic, so carry copies of anything relevant. Let us know beforehand if you need language help, mobility support or a companion with you. Choose clothing that is simple to adjust and follow any personal instructions you are given.
Read the full exam preparation guideBefore you leave for the appointment
- A passport or another identity document accepted for the medical.
- Your request letter or form, if one was sent, along with your application instructions.
- Names and doses of every medication you currently take.
- Copies of earlier test results, specialist notes or relevant medical reports.
- Glasses or contacts, if you normally wear them.
- Up-to-date coverage paperwork if you are requesting refugee claimant coverage.
Fees for Downtown Pickering applicants
Set aside the right amount.
Look at the age bands below for each person booking. A working parent and a school-age child may not need identical tests, so ask us for the combined figure when you call. Any embassy medical or extra investigation is a separate conversation to have 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
You can pay with cash or debit; a credit card payment carries the clinic's $10 transaction fee. Ask in advance what any additional testing for your case would cost.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants in Downtown Pickering should phone ahead with Blue Cross coverage details. Bring your valid documents to the visit so we can check eligibility and the covered services.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Back to your routine
Following your medical after the visit.
Leaving the clinic is not the same as having your file submitted. Canadian immigration medicals are sent through eMedical once all required exams and reports are finished. File your information sheet with your other application paperwork at home.
Hold off on calling about submission until two weeks have passed since your visit. That is our follow-up guideline, not an estimate of IRCC processing. Should another report or test be required, we will explain what is still needed. Update us if your email or phone number changes after the appointment.
Commuters with questions about the clinic's submission can reach our team by phone. News about the application itself will show up in your IRCC account. The panel physician provides the medical findings, while IRCC decides on the exam and your application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your own files
Would a personal copy help?
After submission, an electronic copy of your results can be requested. It is entirely optional and is separate from the eMedical submission handled by the clinic.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
This personal copy sets out the immigration test results completed for your case. If you want your own doctor to look at a result, keep the report ready for that appointment.
Order your resultsHeading east from Downtown Pickering
From the city centre to Rossland Road East.
Our clinic is at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. Drivers from the city centre can park free of charge at the building. Put the suite number in the calendar invite you set for the appointment, so you are not searching for it in the lobby.
From Downtown Pickering, drivers usually head east along Highway 401 or Kingston Road into Ajax. Type the complete Rossland Road East address into your navigation app rather than searching by city name alone. If you are fitting the appointment between commutes, plan the return leg as carefully as the trip there.

Rather not do the medical in English?
Medical conversations go more smoothly when you can use your strongest language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Phone ahead to see who is available on your day or to talk about bringing an interpreter.
Two working adults booking together?
On the phone, tell us how many adults and children need a medical and give each person's age. If both of you commute or share one vehicle, explain your schedules so the team can suggest appointment times that work for the household.
