One Stop Immigration Medical
Immigration medicals for little ones in Lakeside Ajax.
Does your toddler or young child need a medical? From the Lake Ontario shoreline, our Ajax clinic is a short trip north, and the exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray are completed in one building.
Near the Ajax waterfront
A gentler appointment for young children.
Lakeside Ajax families know the waterfront trails and lake breezes well, and many are raising small children here. When a little one is part of an immigration application, fewer locations means fewer meltdowns, so our clinic offers the panel physician exam with blood samples taken on site and chest X-rays in the same building.
Read your child's application instructions first, since young children may not need every test an adult does. Once you know what applies, our team can arrange the appointment, tell you what to bring for your child and explain how the visit will go.
Matching the medical to your child's file
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Lakeside Ajax children and parents needing a medical for permanent residence, a study or work permit, a visit or a refugee claim. Have each IRCC request ready so we can book the right exams.
- New Zealand medicals
- If your young family is relocating from Lakeside Ajax to New Zealand, the clinic offers full and partial medicals. Send the examination instructions for each child and adult so we can confirm what is needed.
- Embassy medicals
- Moving with children from Lakeside Ajax to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan? Ask us about embassy medicals for your children and yourself, and share the destination's forms and testing list first.
Children's instructions can differ from yours.
The medical your child needs may not match the one you had, or the one a friend's child had. Check whether each application expects an upfront exam or one arranged after IRCC sends a request. If your child has a request letter, tell our team the deadline when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
What your child will experience
Step by step, at a child's pace.
Keeping the exam and tests in one building means your child only has to get used to one new place. Ask how long the visit may take before planning snacks and naps, as some children need extra reports or investigations.
Check in together
At Suite 403, give staff your child's identification and medical instructions. If your child's name appears differently on a birth certificate and passport, or the passport is new, mention it.
Meet the panel physician
You can describe your child's health history, vaccines, medicines and any ongoing care. Older children may want to answer some questions themselves, and you can ask how each step will be explained.
Complete any required tests
Staff will tell you which tests apply to your child. Bloodwork is collected on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, so you will not need to bundle a tired child back into the car.
Wrap up and head home
Keep your child's eMedical information sheet in their own folder. Before leaving, ask whether anything is outstanding and check how the application asks for proof of the exam.
Getting a young child ready
Talk about the visit in simple words.
Young children cope better when they know roughly what to expect. A day or two before, explain in calm, honest language that a doctor will ask some questions and check their health. Then pack your child's passport, request letter and health records in a folder of their own, separate from yours.
If your child sees a doctor in Lakeside Ajax, bring copies of relevant records, including vaccination history if you have it, rather than assuming they will be sent. Tell us beforehand if your child or you need language support, help with mobility or an extra adult present. Dress your child in easy clothing and follow any instructions given.

- Your child's passport or other identification accepted for the immigration medical.
- Your child's medical request letter or form, if issued, and their application instructions.
- A list of any medicines your child takes, with names and doses.

- Valid coverage documents for your child if refugee claimant coverage is being requested.
Fees for children and parents
Check the band for each age.
Fees are set by age, so look up the band for each child and adult attending. A toddler, an older sibling and a parent may each need different tests, so ask the team for a family total when booking. Embassy medicals and extra investigations for children or adults are discussed separately 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
The clinic accepts cash and debit, with a $10 transaction fee for credit card payments. If extra testing is requested for your child, ask what it will cost.
Refugee claimant coverage
Lakeside Ajax families booking as refugee claimants should call ahead with Blue Cross coverage details for each child and adult. Bring everyone's valid documents so the team can confirm 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.
Home by the lake again
After your child's medical.
Your child's medical file is completed after the appointment, once everything required is in place. When the examination and any reports are done, the clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. Keep your child's information sheet with their application papers.
Please allow two weeks before calling to ask about your child's submission. This is a clinic follow-up guideline and is unrelated to IRCC processing times. If another test or report is needed, we will tell you what is outstanding. If your phone number or email changes while you wait, update us.
Our team can tell you whether the clinic has submitted your child's medical. Follow your child's application through the relevant IRCC account. The panel physician provides the medical findings, and IRCC makes the final decision about the exam and application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your child's health file
Keep a copy for your child?
After your child's case is submitted, you can request an electronic copy of their results. Requesting it is optional and has nothing to do with the clinic's eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
The copy includes the immigration tests completed for your child's case. If your child's doctor in Lakeside Ajax wants to discuss a result, bring the copy to their next check-up.

A short trip north from Lakeside Ajax.
The clinic is at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology, and parking at the building is free. From the lakeside neighbourhoods in south Ajax, you head north across Highway 401 for a short trip that keeps you in town.
Enter the full Rossland Road East address before buckling the children in, and allow time to get everyone from the car to the suite. If a relative is driving you, share the address and agree on pickup, especially if a car seat needs to move between vehicles.
Travelling by bus with a stroller? Durham Region Transit links south Ajax with the rest of town, so check your trip in both directions first. Plan your trip with Durham Region Transit
Describe your child's health in your language.
Parents can share a child's history most accurately in a language they are comfortable with. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before your visit to check who will be there, or to mention an interpreter.
Bringing more than one child?
Tell us the age of each child and adult needing a medical, and the total number of exams. If naps, feeding times or an older sibling's school day affect your plans, let us know so we can discuss suitable appointment times.
