Close by for Duffins Bay
One appointment that respects your rota.
Nurses, personal support workers and others on rotating shifts know how hard it is to find a free weekday. Our Ajax clinic is a local trip from Duffins Bay, and the visit brings the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and chest X-rays in the same building together, so a single day off can cover it.
Read your permit or residence instructions before talking to your manager about time off. When you know the exam you need, our team can book a slot, list the documents to bring and explain how the appointment runs.
Which medical applies to you?
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Duffins Bay residents applying for a work permit, permanent residence, a study permit, visitor status or refugee protection that needs a medical. Keep your IRCC request ready so we can book accurately.
- New Zealand medicals
- Considering a healthcare or other job in New Zealand? Both full and partial medicals can be done here on a day between shifts. Send your examination instructions when booking so we can confirm the required services.
- Embassy medicals
- If a contract is taking you to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan, ask us about an embassy medical. Share the destination's forms and testing requirements before your appointment is set.
Your application, not your employer's checklist.
Workplace health screening is a separate matter from an immigration medical. Check whether your application needs an upfront exam or one after IRCC sends a request. If you have a letter from IRCC, tell our Ajax team about it and any deadline when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Your appointment in Ajax
What happens during the visit.
All of the required steps happen at one location, so you can plan a single block of time between shifts. Ask the team how long the visit usually lasts before you swap a shift, since some cases require extra reports or investigations.
Show your documents
Bring your ID and immigration medical instructions to the Suite 403 desk, not your work badge. If your name is spelled differently on a work document or you have a newly issued passport, mention it so your file is set up correctly.
Be the patient for once
Even if you work in healthcare, answer the physician's questions about your history, medicines and current care as a patient would. Ask about any part of the exam you would like explained.
Complete your tests
You will hear which immigration tests your file needs, separate from any workplace screening. Bloodwork is drawn on site and chest X-rays are taken in the same building, so you can finish everything before your next shift.
Note any next steps
Keep the eMedical information sheet with your permit papers. Ask if anything is still outstanding, and follow your application instructions on how to provide proof of the exam.
Planning around your shifts
Get ready before a night off, not after a night shift.
After a long overnight shift, details are easy to forget. Prepare your folder on a rest day, with your passport, request letter and health records together. Make sure the identification you pack is current and belongs to you.
Bring copies of relevant medical records yourself, including any from abroad, rather than expecting the clinic to request them. Tell us before the visit if you want support in another language, need mobility assistance or would like a companion present. Wear comfortable clothes and follow any preparation guidance you are given.

- The glasses or contacts you wear at work, if you use them.

Fees for Duffins Bay patients
Know the cost before your day off.
The age bands below set out the fee for each person. If your partner or children are booking too, their tests may differ, so ask for a combined amount. Embassy medicals and any extra investigations are discussed separately with the clinic.

Ages 15+

Payment options

Refugee claimant coverage
Duffins Bay residents booking as refugee claimants should phone first with their Blue Cross coverage information. Bring your valid documents on the day so eligibility and covered services can be confirmed.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Back on shift
Checking in between rotations.
The day of your exam is not always the day your medical file is complete. Once the required examination and any reports are done, our clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. Keep the information sheet with your work permit documents.
Wait two weeks before calling the clinic for a submission update. This is a follow-up guideline and not an IRCC processing estimate. When your file is waiting on an added report or test, the team will spell out what is needed. If your schedule means you are hard to reach by phone, give us an email address you check often.
On a day off, you can ring our team to check on the clinic's submission. Check your IRCC account for news on your application. The panel physician provides the medical findings, and IRCC decides on your medical exam and application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Personal records only
Keep your results on file?
Following submission, you can request an electronic copy of your results. This is optional and does not replace the eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
This report lists the immigration tests you completed, not workplace screening. It is a personal record, so share it with a doctor in Ajax only if you choose to discuss a result.
