One Stop Immigration Medical
Settling into Pickering Beach? Start your medical here.
Pickering Beach is a lakeside neighbourhood in Ajax, not the City of Pickering, so your panel physician is a short local trip away. Our clinic handles the exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray in one building.
Panel physicians for Pickering Beach, Ajax
One less thing to figure out in a new town.
Despite its name, Pickering Beach sits within Ajax along the Lake Ontario shoreline, and it is not part of the neighbouring City of Pickering. If you have just arrived and are still learning your way around, our Ajax clinic keeps the medical close, with bloodwork collected on site and chest X-rays in the same building.
New arrivals receive a lot of paperwork, so take a moment to find the instructions that relate to your medical. They will show whether an exam is required and the timing. With those in hand, our team can book the appointment, explain which documents to bring and describe each step of the visit.
Which medical applies to you?
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For newcomers in Pickering Beach applying for permanent residence, a work or study permit, visitor status or refugee protection. Keep any IRCC request at hand when you call, and we will match the booking to it.
- New Zealand medicals
- Still deciding between Canada and New Zealand, or moving on again? Both full and partial New Zealand medicals are possible at our clinic. Share your examination instructions when you book so we can confirm what you need.
- Embassy medicals
- If your plans take you next to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan, ask us about an embassy medical. Send the forms and testing requirements for that country before your appointment is arranged.
Find the right letter in your new-arrival pile.
Advice from others who arrived recently may not fit your own application. Check whether you were asked for an upfront medical or told to wait for an IRCC request. If a request has already been issued, share it and its deadline with our Ajax team when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Your first visit to our clinic
Your appointment, explained for newcomers.
Your exam and tests are completed in one building, so you do not need to learn the way to several offices in a town that is still new to you. Ask the team how long to set aside, as some files require extra reports or investigations.
Introduce yourself at Suite 403
Show your passport and any medical instructions to the front desk staff. If your name is spelled one way on your passport and another on Canadian paperwork, let them know at the start.
Share your health background
The panel physician will ask about past illnesses, medicines you brought from abroad and any ongoing care. Mention anything that worries you about the exam or support you might need.
Complete your testing
You will be told which tests are required for your case. Blood samples are collected on site and chest X-rays are available in the same building, keeping your visit to one address.
Leave knowing what comes next
Keep the eMedical information sheet with your arrival documents. Before you go, ask whether anything is still needed and check your application instructions for submitting proof of the exam.
Preparing in a new home
Find the key papers before the dishes.
Moving boxes and suitcases can hide important papers for weeks. Find your passport, request letter and any health records before the day, and give each family member a separate folder. Make sure every document in a folder matches the person who will be examined.
Medical records from your previous country will not reach us unless you bring them, and translated copies can help if they are available. Tell us in advance if you need language support, help with mobility or a companion to attend. Wear comfortable clothing and follow the preparation instructions given for your own exam.
Read the full exam preparation guideThings to dig out of the boxes
- Your passport or other accepted identification, kept out of the moving boxes.
- Your medical request letter or form, if issued, together with your application instructions.
- A list of medicines you take, including any brought from abroad, with their doses.
- Relevant medical reports, specialist letters or test results, including records from overseas.
- Your glasses or contact lenses, if you wear them.
- Refugee claimant coverage documents that remain valid, if you rely on that coverage.
Understanding the cost
Set aside the fee early.
The standard fee depends on age, as shown in the bands below. Settling-in costs add up quickly, so ask the clinic for a total for everyone in your household when you book. Ask the clinic separately about embassy medicals and about any investigations beyond the standard tests.
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
Cash and debit are accepted, and a $10 transaction fee is added to credit card payments. If the physician asks for further tests, find out the cost before they are done.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants who have settled in Pickering Beach should call ahead with their Blue Cross coverage details. Bring valid documents to the appointment so the team can confirm eligibility and the services included.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
While you keep settling in
Tracking your medical from home.
Your exam is one step, and submitting the completed file is another. The clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical once the required examination and reports are ready. Keep your information sheet in the same place as your arrival papers.
Wait two weeks before phoning the clinic to ask about your submission. That timing is a follow-up guide for our clinic, not an IRCC processing estimate. Should another test or report be needed, we will tell you clearly what is still to come. A new phone plan or email address is common after moving, so tell us if yours changes.
If you want to know whether the clinic has sent your file, ask our team. Your IRCC account shows how the application is moving. The panel physician supplies the medical findings, and IRCC makes the final call on the exam and your application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Starting your Canadian records
Keep a copy of your results?
Once your case is submitted, you can request an electronic copy of your results for your own records. You do not need one, and requesting it does not change what the clinic sends through eMedical.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
The report records each immigration test done as part of your case. When you register with a family doctor in Ajax, having the report can be helpful for your first appointment.
Order your resultsFrom the waterfront to Rossland Road
A short trip north in Ajax.
Find us at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology, with free parking at the building. Keep the suite number written down, which is especially useful when you are still learning local addresses.
We see newcomers from Pickering Beach and many other parts of Ajax. Use the full Rossland Road East address in a map app rather than searching for Pickering, which could send you to the neighbouring city instead. Give yourself time to find the suite, and if someone is driving you, send them the exact address.

Still finding your words in English?
A medical visit soon after arriving can feel overwhelming in a new language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before the appointment to confirm who can help, or let us know about an interpreter.
Did the whole family arrive together?
Give us the ages of everyone who needs a medical and the total number of exams. If you are juggling school registration, a new job or other settlement appointments, tell the team so they can discuss times that fit your first weeks.
