One Stop Immigration Medical
A calm immigration medical for Northwest Ajax seniors.
Bringing a parent or grandparent for their medical? From Northwest Ajax, our clinic is a short drive east, and the exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray all happen in one building.
Supporting older applicants in Northwest Ajax
Fewer stops for parents and grandparents.
For many households in Northwest Ajax, the person needing a medical is an older relative who has joined the family or is visiting for an extended stay. Travelling to several offices can be tiring at any age, so our clinic brings the physician exam together with on-site bloodwork and chest X-rays in the same building.
Read the instructions attached to your parent's or grandparent's application before arranging anything. When you know which medical is required, our team can schedule the visit, explain which papers to bring and help your relative feel at ease from arrival to departure.
Matching the medical to the application
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Northwest Ajax residents, including older relatives, whose permanent residence, visitor, work, study or refugee claimant application requires a medical. Have the IRCC request on hand so we can book correctly.
- New Zealand medicals
- If a family member in Northwest Ajax is preparing to move to New Zealand, full and partial medicals are available. Pass along their examination instructions so we can confirm the services required.
- Embassy medicals
- For an older relative travelling from Northwest Ajax to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan, ask us about an embassy medical. Send the destination's forms and testing requirements ahead of booking.
Confirm the right exam for your relative.
A medical a cousin completed last year may not be the type your parent needs now. Find out whether the application calls for an upfront exam or one booked after IRCC issues a request. If a request letter has been received, tell our team about it and any deadline it gives when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
What your relative can expect
An unhurried visit from start to finish.
Everything your relative needs is handled at one address, so there is no second car trip for testing. Ask the clinic how long the appointment may last before planning meals, rest or medication times, since some older applicants may need extra reports or investigations.
Arrive at the front desk
At Suite 403, hand over your relative's identification and medical instructions. Mention any older document showing a different spelling, or a passport renewed before travelling to Canada.
Review health history with the physician
The panel physician talks through past illnesses, daily medications and any ongoing treatment. Your relative can ask questions, take their time and mention anything that would make the exam more comfortable.
Finish the tests that apply
Staff explain which tests are needed. Bloodwork is drawn on site and the chest X-ray is in the same building, so your relative does not need to travel between separate locations.
Wrap up with clear instructions
Keep the eMedical information sheet with your relative's application papers. Before going home, check that nothing is outstanding and review how the application asks for proof of the exam.
Helping an older relative prepare
Gather records a few days early.
Older applicants often have longer medical histories, more prescriptions and paperwork from more than one country. Start collecting your relative's passport, request letter and health records a few days ahead, and keep them in one folder that belongs to them alone. Confirm the identification matches the person attending.
If your relative has a doctor in Northwest Ajax, request copies of relevant records and bring them yourself instead of assuming they have been forwarded. Let us know ahead of time about hearing, vision or mobility needs, language support, or a family member who will come along. Comfortable shoes and clothing help, and follow any individual instructions provided.
Read the full exam preparation guideWhat to pack for your relative
- Their passport or other identification accepted for an immigration medical.
- Any medical request letter or form your relative received, plus their application instructions.
- A complete list of current medications, with each name and dose.
- Relevant specialist letters, hospital reports or previous test results.
- Their reading glasses, distance glasses or contact lenses.
- Valid coverage documents if your relative is asking for refugee claimant coverage.
Costs for older applicants
Check the fee band before the visit.
Find your relative's age in the bands below to see what to budget. If several generations are being examined together, ask for a combined figure when booking, since tests can vary by age. Embassy medicals and additional investigations are discussed with the clinic on their own.
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 takes cash and debit, and a $10 transaction fee is added to credit card payments. If the physician requests more testing for your relative, ask the team about the cost.
Refugee claimant coverage
When an older relative in Northwest Ajax is booking as a refugee claimant, call with their Blue Cross details before the visit. On the day, bring your relative's valid documents so the team can review eligibility and the services covered for them.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
After the appointment
Helping your relative follow up.
Leaving the clinic does not mean the medical file has been finalised. After the required examination and any reports are complete, the clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. Keep the information sheet with your relative's other immigration documents.
Allow two weeks before phoning the clinic about your relative's submission. That guideline is for clinic follow-up only and is not an IRCC processing estimate. If an additional report or test is needed, we will say what is outstanding. If the best phone number for reaching your family changes, let us know.
If you want to know whether the clinic has sent your relative's medical, our team can help. To see where the application stands, use the relevant IRCC account. Medical findings are provided by the panel physician, and IRCC makes the final decision about the exam and application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
A copy for your relative
Would a personal copy be useful?
After the case is submitted, an electronic copy of the results can be requested for your relative's own records. Your relative can skip it entirely, since the copy is separate from what the clinic submits through eMedical.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
The copy includes the immigration tests completed for that case. If your relative's regular doctor in Northwest Ajax wants to discuss a result, bring the copy to that appointment.
Order your resultsComing from the northwest side
A short drive east to our clinic.
Our address is Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology, and parking at the building is free. From the northwest side of Ajax near Duffins Creek, it is a short drive east within town. Free parking means your relative does not have to walk far.
Because the clinic is so close to home, you can usually plan the outing around your relative's usual routine without a long journey. Enter the complete Rossland Road East address before you leave and allow extra minutes for a relaxed walk to the suite. If someone else is driving, share the address and agree on where they will wait.
Travelling by bus with an older relative? Durham Region Transit serves Ajax, so confirm the route and return trip before you go. Plan your trip with Durham Region Transit
Language support for your relative
Older applicants are often most comfortable explaining their health in their first language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Phone ahead to check who will be available, or to mention an interpreter joining the visit.
Is more than one generation attending?
When booking, list the age of each person who needs an exam and how many medicals are required. If a grandparent needs a quieter time of day or the family is sharing one car, let us know so we can discuss suitable times.
