One Stop Immigration Medical
Family immigration medicals near Meadow Ridge.
Bringing little ones to a medical takes planning. Our Ajax clinic is a short drive from Meadow Ridge, and each family member's exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray can be completed in the same building.
Serving Meadow Ridge families
Medicals for parents and children, nearby.
With toddlers, school-age children and perhaps a new baby at home, Meadow Ridge parents rarely have a free afternoon. Keeping the appointment inside Ajax means less time in the car with restless kids, and the clinic collects bloodwork on site while chest X-rays happen in the same building.
Each person in your family may be named on the application, but their medical needs can differ. Start by reading the instructions for every family member included. After that, our staff can book suitable times, tell you what each person should bring and describe what the children can expect.
Find the medical for each family member
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Meadow Ridge parents and children applying for permanent residence, or for study, work or visitor status, or a refugee claim that requires an exam. Have any IRCC requests for each person ready when you call us.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is your family weighing a move to New Zealand? We provide full and partial medicals for that process. Send the examination instructions for each person when booking so we can confirm the right services.
- Embassy medicals
- If a parent's career is taking the family to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan, ask about an embassy medical. Share the forms and test requirements for that country before we book a time.
Check each child's paperwork separately.
Siblings on the same application do not always need the same medical at the same time. Look at whether your instructions call for an upfront exam or one after IRCC sends a request. If letters have already come, tell our Ajax team which family members they cover and the deadlines they mention.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
A family visit, step by step
What your children will see.
Every part of the medical takes place in one building, which spares young children an extra outing. Ask the team how long a family visit usually runs before planning naps, snacks or a school pickup, because some exams lead to additional reports or investigations.
Check everyone in
At Suite 403, hand over each person's identification and medical paperwork. Let staff know if a child's name is spelled differently on a birth certificate and a passport, or if a passport was recently renewed.
Speak with the physician
Parents can share a child's medical history, vaccinations they know of and current medicines. It is also a good moment to mention if your child is nervous and what helps them stay calm.
Complete the tests that apply
Staff explain which tests each family member needs, as requirements depend partly on age. Blood samples are taken on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, so no one is shuttled across town.
Gather the family's sheets
Each person examined receives an eMedical information sheet, so collect and label them all. Ask if anything is pending for any family member, then follow your application instructions about proof of the exam.
Packing for a family appointment
A labelled envelope for every child.
Children's passports look alike, and request letters are easily muddled. Write each family member's name on a separate envelope and place only their papers inside. Before leaving Meadow Ridge, open each one and confirm the identification matches the person it is for.
Your children's paediatric records will not reach the clinic on their own, even when their doctor is in Ajax, so bring copies with you. Let us know ahead of time if you need language support, a stroller-friendly route, mobility help or another adult with you. Dress the kids comfortably and follow any personal instructions we provide.
Read the full exam preparation guideThe family checklist
- A passport or other accepted identification for every person being examined.
- Any medical request letters or forms issued, along with the application instructions for each family member.
- A list of medicines and doses for anyone who takes them regularly.
- Relevant medical reports, specialist notes or past test results for each person.
- Glasses or contact lenses for any family member who wears them.
- Valid coverage papers for each child or adult claiming refugee claimant coverage.
Family fees
Add up each person's cost.
Prices depend on the age bands shown below, so a parent, a teenager and a young child may each pay a different amount. Ask our staff for a family total when you call. Embassy medicals and any extra investigations need to be discussed with the clinic separately.
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
Pay with cash or debit, or expect a $10 transaction fee on a credit card payment. If the physician orders more testing for a family member, ask about that cost as well.
Refugee claimant coverage
Meadow Ridge families booking as refugee claimants should call with each person's Blue Cross coverage details in advance. Bring valid documents so staff can check eligibility and explain what is covered.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
After the family visit
Keeping several files on track.
Each family member has a separate medical file that must be finished before it is sent. When everything required for a family member is finished, the clinic sends that Canadian immigration medical through eMedical. Keep every information sheet in one place with your application papers.
Allow two weeks before calling the clinic for an update on any family member's submission. This is a follow-up guideline and does not reflect IRCC processing times. If a child or parent needs another report or test, we will explain what is still needed. Tell us if your family's contact details change.
Our team can help with questions about the clinic's submissions. Use your IRCC account to follow the application itself. The panel physician reports the medical findings, and IRCC makes the decision on each exam and on the application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Records for your family
Keep copies for each person?
After a family member's case has gone through submission, you may ask for an electronic copy of their results. The copy is optional and separate from the eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
A copy shows the immigration tests completed for that case. If your child's doctor in Ajax wants to look at a result, bring the report to the next check-up.
Order your resultsGetting here from Meadow Ridge
A local drive for the whole crew.
You will find us at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology, and parking is free at the building. Since you are already in Ajax, the journey is brief, but write down the suite number so you are not hunting for it with children in hand.
Families from Meadow Ridge and neighbourhoods throughout Ajax come to us for their medicals. Search the complete Rossland Road East address before you leave and give yourselves extra minutes for car seats and coats. If a grandparent or friend is driving, share the address and plan who looks after the kids while each person is seen.

Language help for parents
Explaining a child's health history is easier in the language you use at home. Team members speak English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Phone ahead to confirm who can assist, or let us know you are bringing an interpreter.
How many medicals do you need?
When you call, list each family member's age and the number of exams required. Mention nap times, daycare hours or a single car shared by the household, and the team will talk through appointment options that keep the day manageable.
