One Stop Immigration Medical
Immigration medicals for Memorial Village seniors.
When an older parent or grandparent needs an immigration medical, a nearby clinic makes the day easier. From Memorial Village, it is a short trip to our Ajax office, where tests are completed in one building.
Panel physicians near Memorial Village
A calmer medical for older applicants.
Long drives and unfamiliar buildings can tire an older relative before an exam even starts. Families in Memorial Village can keep the outing short by visiting our clinic here in Ajax, where blood samples are collected on site and the chest X-ray is in the same building.
Begin by reading the instructions for the applicant, not general advice from friends or online forums. Those instructions decide which medical is needed and when. Our team can then book a time that suits your parent, explain what to bring and talk you both through the visit.
Which exam does your parent need?
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Memorial Village residents, including parents and grandparents, applying for permanent residence or for visitor, work, study or refugee status that calls for a medical. Keep any IRCC request letter beside the phone when you book.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is an older family member joining relatives in New Zealand? We offer full and partial medicals for New Zealand applications. Forward the examination instructions when you book so we can confirm what is needed.
- Embassy medicals
- For travel or residence plans involving Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan, ask us about an embassy medical. Send that country's forms and testing requirements before choosing an appointment.
Read the applicant's own instructions.
What a friend's mother needed may not match your parent's file at all. Find out whether the application asks for an upfront exam or one completed after an IRCC request. If a request has arrived, share it with our Ajax team, along with any deadline it states, when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
A visit at an unhurried pace
What your parent can expect.
The examination and the required testing all happen in one building, so your relative avoids a second outing. Ask how long the appointment usually takes before planning meals or medicines around it, as some cases need further reports or investigations.
Arrive and check in
At Suite 403, present your parent's identification and medical paperwork. If their name is written differently on older documents, or their passport has recently been renewed, point it out to staff.
Meet the panel physician
Your parent can describe their health history, any long-term conditions and the medicines they take each day. They can also mention hearing, vision or mobility needs that affect the examination.
Take the required tests
Staff explain which tests apply to your relative's case. Bloodwork is collected on site, and the chest X-ray is in the same building, which limits walking and waiting between locations.
Review before heading home
Keep the eMedical information sheet with your parent's documents. Ask whether anything is still to be done, then follow the application instructions on submitting proof of the exam.
Preparing an older relative
Put the medicines list in writing.
Older applicants often manage several prescriptions, and remembering each dose under pressure is hard. Write out every medicine with its strength and how often it is taken, and place it in a folder with their passport and request letter. Confirm everything in the folder belongs to the person being examined.
If your parent sees a specialist or a family doctor in Ajax, collect the relevant reports beforehand, because the clinic will not have them. Tell us in advance about any hearing or vision aids, a walker or wheelchair, a preferred language or a relative who will come along. Choose comfortable clothing and follow the individual preparation instructions provided.
Read the full exam preparation guideYour parent's folder
- Their passport or another identification document accepted for the immigration medical.
- Any medical request letter or form issued, plus the instructions for their application.
- A complete medication list with names, strengths and daily doses.
- Specialist letters, recent medical reports or test results for ongoing conditions.
- Reading glasses, other glasses or contact lenses, if worn.
- Up-to-date refugee claimant coverage documents, if your parent is relying on that coverage.
Fees for older applicants
Plan the cost ahead of time.
The age bands below set the fee for each person. If a couple of grandparents are both being examined, confirm the combined amount when you book. Embassy medicals and any additional investigations should 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
The clinic accepts cash or debit, while paying by credit card adds a $10 transaction fee. Ask about the price of any extra testing the physician requests.
Refugee claimant coverage
Older refugee claimants from Memorial Village should call ahead with their Blue Cross coverage details. Bring valid documents to the appointment so the team can confirm eligibility and which services are covered.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Once your parent is home
Following up on their behalf.
Leaving the clinic is not the same as having a completed file. When the required examination and reports are finished, the clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. Keep the information sheet with the rest of your parent's application papers.
Two weeks is the window to allow before phoning us to ask whether your parent's file has been submitted. The two-week guide is about clinic follow-up, not IRCC processing. If a further report or test is needed, we will describe what is outstanding. Let us know if the best contact number for your parent changes.
Our staff can answer questions about the clinic's submission. Check the IRCC account to see how the application is progressing. The panel physician provides medical findings, and IRCC decides on both the exam and the application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your parent's records
Should you keep a copy?
After the case is submitted, an electronic copy of the results can be requested. It is optional and does not change the eMedical submission in any way.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
The copy covers the immigration tests done for this case. If your parent has an upcoming visit with their doctor in Ajax, the report can be useful to bring along.
Order your resultsA short outing from Memorial Village
Easy to reach, with free parking.
Our address is Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology, and parking at the building costs nothing. Staying in Ajax keeps the car ride short for your parent, and noting the suite number helps you find the right door without extra walking.
Older patients from Memorial Village and other Ajax neighbourhoods visit us regularly. Enter the full Rossland Road East address before you go and leave time to settle in before the appointment begins. If a grandchild or neighbour is giving your parent a lift, make sure they know the address and when to return.
If your parent prefers the bus, check Durham Region Transit trip times and accessible options for both directions before the day. Plan your trip with Durham Region Transit
Speaking with your parent in their language
Many older applicants explain their health most accurately in their first language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before booking to see who is available or to arrange for an interpreter to join you.
Booking for both grandparents?
Give us the ages of your parents, or anyone else attending, and the number of exams to book. If your parents rely on you for a ride or need a morning slot because of medication routines, say so and the team will discuss times that suit them.
