One Stop Immigration Medical
Shift work in Eastdale? Your medical can fit around it.
Night rotations and changing rosters make appointments tricky. Our Ajax clinic combines the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and a chest X-ray in the same building, so one visit can cover what your application needs.
Eastdale shift workers, seen in Ajax
Make the most of a day off.
When your schedule swings between days and nights, every free day matters. Eastdale residents can see a panel physician at our Ajax clinic, have blood drawn in the same suite and complete chest X-rays in the building, rather than spending several days off going to separate sites.
Whether you work in health care, warehousing, manufacturing or another round-the-clock job, the requirement starts with your application instructions, not your roster. Share them with our team and we will help you book the right medical and explain what to bring.
Line up the right exam before your next rotation
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Eastdale residents applying for permanent residence or needing a medical as a worker, student, visitor or refugee claimant. Keep any IRCC request ready when you call to book.
- New Zealand medicals
- Planning to work in New Zealand after Eastdale? Whether your file asks for a full or partial medical, our panel physicians can carry it out. Send the examination instructions so we can confirm which services you need.
- Embassy medicals
- Taking a job or moving to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan? Ask us about an embassy medical and send the destination's forms and testing requirements first.
Sort out the requirement before swapping shifts.
It is tempting to trade a shift before you know which medical you need. First check whether your application asks for an upfront exam or one after an IRCC request. If you have received a letter, tell our team about it and its deadline so we can look at times that respect both.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Your appointment, start to finish
What happens once you arrive.
Testing in one building helps Eastdale shift workers keep the visit to a single block of time. Ask how long it may take before confirming time off with your supervisor, since extra reports or investigations are sometimes required.
Present your documents
Hand your identification and medical instructions to staff at Suite 403. Mention any name variation between your work permit and passport, or a passport you renewed recently.
Discuss your health
The panel physician reviews your medical history, medications and any treatment. If tiredness from a night shift affects you, or you need any support during the exam, let the physician know.
Finish the required tests
You will hear from staff which tests belong to your file. Bloodwork is done on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, so you do not have to use a second day off for another appointment.
Check for loose ends
Slip the eMedical information sheet into your folder before you head for the car. Ask whether anything remains outstanding before leaving, then follow your application instructions for showing proof of the exam.
Preparing between shifts
Do the paperwork when you are rested.
Sorting documents straight after a night shift is when mistakes creep in. Pick a clear-headed moment earlier in the week to put your passport, request letter and records into one folder. If a family member is also attending, keep their documents separate from yours.
Bring copies of relevant medical records, even if you have a family doctor in Oshawa, as we do not receive them automatically. Let us know ahead of time if you need language support, mobility help or a companion. Wear comfortable clothes and follow any preparation instructions you have been given personally.

- A passport or other accepted identification for the immigration medical.
- Your request letter or form, if issued, and your application instructions.
- A current list of medications with names and doses.
- Copies of specialist letters, reports or past results connected to your health history.
- The glasses or contacts you would normally wear on shift.
- Refugee claimant coverage documents that are still valid, if you plan to use that coverage.
Planning the cost
Know the fee before you book time off.
Each Eastdale applicant's fee comes from the age band they fall into below. If your partner or children are booking with you, their testing may differ, so ask for a combined total when you call. Embassy medicals and further investigations have separate pricing.
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
Bring cash or a debit card, or expect a $10 transaction fee on credit card payments. Ask about the cost of any extra testing your case requires.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants living in Eastdale should call ahead with their Blue Cross coverage details. On the day, have those valid documents with you so we can work out eligibility and which services the coverage includes.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Back on the roster
Follow up on your own schedule.
Completing the visit is not the end of your medical file. The Canadian medical goes to IRCC through eMedical only after our Ajax team has every required exam result and report in hand. Store your information sheet with your other application documents.
Wait two weeks before calling to check on your submission. That is a clinic follow-up guideline, not an IRCC processing time. If an additional test or report is needed, we will tell you what is outstanding. If you can only take calls at certain times, let us know along with any change to your contact details.
Our team handles questions about the clinic's submission, while your IRCC account shows your application's progress. The panel physician provides the medical findings, and IRCC decides on the medical exam and the application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Copies for your records
Keep a personal copy?
Eastdale patients can ask for an electronic results copy as soon as their case is submitted. This is optional and is not a replacement for the clinic's eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
It covers every immigration test you finished during the appointment. If you want to talk through a result with your family doctor, keep the report available for that visit.

Plan the drive around your sleep.
Our clinic is at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. There is no clinic in Oshawa, and free parking is available at the building. Save the suite number with your booking so check-in is quick.
Driving after a night shift can be risky, so consider booking on a day you are rested or asking someone else to drive. From Oshawa, Highway 401 heads west through Whitby to Ajax. Use the full Rossland Road East address and leave time to reach the suite calmly.

Language help is available.
Explaining your health is easier in a language you are comfortable with. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before your visit to find out who is available or to discuss bringing an interpreter.
Is your family booking too?
When you phone, list everyone in the household who needs a medical and how old they are. If two adults in the household work rotating shifts, explain your schedules when you call so the team can discuss times that could work.
