One Stop Immigration Medical
McLaughlin applicants, bring your health story.
Prescriptions, past surgeries and ongoing treatment all come up during an immigration medical. Our Ajax clinic gives you time with a panel physician, then completes bloodwork in the suite and chest X-rays in the same building.
Serving the McLaughlin area
Clear health information, one appointment.
The McLaughlin name is closely tied to Oshawa's automotive past, and today the area is home to households at every stage of life. For anyone managing a long-term condition or several prescriptions, a well-organised medical matters. Our Ajax clinic keeps the physician exam and blood collection together, with the chest X-ray in the same building.
You may be a parent sponsoring relatives, a worker applying to stay permanently or an older resident on a visitor application. Whatever your situation, begin with the instructions attached to your application. Our team will help you book the matching appointment and suggest which health records are worth bringing.
Know which medical you are booking
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For McLaughlin residents applying for permanent residence, permits to work, study or visit, or refugee protection. Read out your IRCC request when calling so we confirm the right appointment.
- New Zealand medicals
- Planning a move from McLaughlin to New Zealand? Both full and partial medicals can be completed with us. Provide your examination instructions when booking so we can see which services apply.
- Embassy medicals
- Preparing papers for Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan from McLaughlin? An embassy medical may be what you need, so get in touch. Send along the destination's forms and required tests before we set a time.
Check your own requirements.
A relative's medical from years ago is not a reliable guide to yours, as rules and programs vary. See whether your application calls for an upfront exam or one after a request from IRCC. If a letter has arrived with a due date, tell our team about it as soon as you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Taking time over your history
Your visit, from desk to doctor to tests.
With everything in one place, you can focus on the conversation rather than the logistics. Ask how long the appointment could take before arranging a ride, as sometimes a case needs an extra report or investigation.
Sign in with your ID
Provide your identification and the medical paperwork for your application. Your file uses these details, so mention any spelling variations or a passport that was replaced recently.
Go over your medicines
The panel physician reviews your health history, current prescriptions and any specialist care. Having your medication list in hand makes this part quicker and more accurate.
Complete the tests
Staff will walk you through the specific tests attached to your file. Blood is collected in our suite and chest X-rays are done in the same building, so there is no separate lab visit to arrange.
Leave knowing what is next
Put the eMedical information sheet in a safe place. Ask whether any step is still outstanding, then follow your application's instructions for submitting proof of the exam.
At the kitchen table
Write the list before you go.
Remembering every tablet, inhaler and supplement on the spot is harder than it sounds. Sit down a few days ahead and write each medicine with its dose, using the pharmacy label as a guide. If others in your home are booked too, give each person their own list and folder.
Bring relevant records even if your doctor or specialist practises in Oshawa, as we do not receive them automatically. Let us know in advance about language, accessibility or companion needs. Wear comfortable clothing and follow any personal preparation instructions from our staff.

- Any glasses or contact lenses you rely on to read the forms.
- Any valid coverage paperwork for refugee claimant services.
Budgeting in McLaughlin
Confirm the fee in advance.
Look up each attendee's age band in the table below to estimate the cost. Different ages can require different tests, so confirm the total for everyone booked. Embassy medicals and any further investigations have separate pricing, so ask the clinic about them.
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
Debit and cash payments avoid the $10 transaction fee that applies when paying by credit card. Ask for the price of any additional testing your case requires.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants from McLaughlin should call with their Blue Cross information before attending. Bring your valid documents so our staff can check eligibility and coverage.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Once you are home
What follows your appointment.
If the physician needs more information about a condition, your medical may not be complete when you leave. The clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical after the required exam and reports are done. Slip the information sheet into the folder that holds your medication list and application forms.
Give us two weeks before calling for an update about the submission. That is a clinic guideline for follow-up and not an IRCC processing time. If a specialist report or another test is needed, we will explain exactly what is missing. Please tell us if your phone or email changes.
Contact the clinic about our submission and use your IRCC account to follow your application. Findings from your exam are prepared by the panel physician, but the final say on the medical and the application rests with IRCC. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your health records
Want your results on file?
When the submission is done, McLaughlin patients may order an electronic copy of their results. It is an optional service and separate from the eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
Every immigration test carried out for your McLaughlin appointment is listed on that copy. If your family doctor or specialist in Oshawa would like to see a result, bring the report to your next visit.
Order your resultsHeading to Ajax
Finding us from McLaughlin.
Come to Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. We see every patient in Ajax, as there is no McLaughlin or Oshawa office. Parking is free on site, and the suite number will guide you to check-in.
From McLaughlin, drivers generally travel west on Highway 401 through Whitby. Those relying on Durham Region Transit should plan transfers carefully, especially if mobility is a concern. Type the full Rossland Road East address into your map app and leave enough time to arrive relaxed.

Explain your history in your own words.
Brand names, generic names and dosing terms can all get tangled when you are working in a second language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Phone ahead to check who is working that day or to arrange for an interpreter.
Coming with relatives?
When booking, let us know how many medicals are needed and how old each person is. If a driver's schedule, work hours or caregiving duties affect your timing, share that with the team so we can find a fit.
