One Stop Immigration Medical
Gentle planning for little ones in Pinecrest.
Young children cope best when the day feels familiar and short. Our Ajax clinic keeps the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and the chest X-ray in one building, so you can focus on your child instead of the logistics.
Pinecrest parents with young children
One building, fewer transitions for small children.
Toddlers and preschoolers from Pinecrest do not enjoy being moved between waiting rooms. At our Ajax clinic, a panel physician carries out the exam and blood is drawn in the same suite, with chest X-ray services elsewhere in the building, so a young child has fewer new places to adjust to.
Perhaps your youngest was born in Canada while an older child still needs a medical, or the whole family is applying together. Either way, look at the instructions for each child's application first, and our team will help you book the correct appointment and list what to bring.
Matching the exam to your little one's file
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Pinecrest children and parents applying for permanent residence, or needing a medical for study, work, a visit or a refugee claim. Keep your child's IRCC request letter beside the phone when you book.
- New Zealand medicals
- If your Pinecrest family is relocating to New Zealand, we offer full and partial medicals. Send each child's examination instructions so we can confirm the services required.
- Embassy medicals
- Going to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan as a family? Ask about embassy medicals and share the destination's forms and testing requirements before booking.
Confirm what your child actually needs.
A friend from playgroup may describe their child's medical in detail, but your child's application could ask for something different. Check whether an upfront exam is expected or whether you are waiting for an IRCC request. If a letter has come for your child, mention it and its deadline when you call.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
A young child's appointment
How the visit runs for little patients.
Because testing is grouped in one place, Pinecrest families can avoid a second outing with a tired toddler. Ask roughly how long the visit may take when you book, and plan naps and meals around it, since an extra report or investigation is sometimes needed.
Parent handles check-in
At Suite 403, an adult presents the child's identification and paperwork. Let staff know if the child's name appears differently across documents or if a new passport was issued recently.
The physician meets your child
The panel physician asks about your child's health history, medicines and any ongoing care. You can explain what helps your child stay calm and ask questions before each part of the exam.
Testing explained to you
Staff tell you which tests apply to your child's case. Blood is collected on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, so you are not packing the stroller back into the car for another stop.
Before heading home
Put the eMedical information sheet in your child's folder. Check whether anything remains outstanding, then follow the application instructions about providing proof of the medical.
Getting a young child ready
Keep the morning feeling ordinary.
Small children pick up on rushed, anxious mornings. Prepare the paperwork the night before so breakfast and getting dressed follow the usual routine. Keep each child's documents in a separate folder, and pack snacks, a drink and a familiar toy in a different bag.
Bring your child's immunization history and any reports from their doctor, because the clinic does not hold these already. Tell us beforehand if your child or you need language support, accessibility help or a second adult in the room. Dress your child in easy, comfortable clothing and follow any individual preparation guidance.

- Your child's passport or other accepted identification for the medical.
- Any medical request letter or form for your child, plus the application instructions.
- A list of your child's medications, including names and doses.
- Reports, specialist letters or earlier test results about your child's health.
- Any glasses your toddler or preschooler has been prescribed.
- Up-to-date refugee claimant coverage papers for the family, if that coverage applies.
Fees for Pinecrest families
Know each child's fee in advance.
Fees are set by the age bands below, and very young children may fall into a different band from older siblings or parents. Ask the team to confirm the total for everyone attending when you book. Should anyone need an embassy medical or a further investigation, that cost is confirmed with you 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 by cash or debit, or add $10 for the clinic's credit card transaction fee. If further testing is requested for your child, ask what it will cost.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimant families in Pinecrest should call ahead with their Blue Cross coverage details. Bring each child's valid documents so the team can check eligibility and 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 naptime
What follows your child's visit.
Your child's medical file is not complete just because the appointment is over. Once the required exam and reports are ready, our Ajax clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. Keep the information sheet in your child's application folder.
The clinic suggests waiting two weeks before calling about the submission. This is a follow-up guideline from the clinic, not an IRCC processing time. If your child needs another test or report, we will explain what is still needed. Please update us if your phone number or email changes.
Questions about the clinic's submission can go to our team, and your IRCC account will show the application's progress. The panel physician supplies the findings, and IRCC makes the decision on the medical exam and the application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your child's health file
Want a copy of your child's results?
Once the case is submitted, you can order an electronic copy of your child's results. Pinecrest parents can skip it entirely, since the eMedical submission is complete without it.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
The copy shows the immigration tests completed for your child. If you want to discuss a result with your child's family doctor, bring the report to that appointment.
Order your resultsPinecrest to Ajax
A trip planned around small passengers.
Visit us at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. We have no Oshawa office, and free parking at the building makes unloading car seats and strollers simpler. Note the suite number so you can go directly to check-in.
Families from Oshawa often drive west on Highway 401 through Whitby to reach Ajax. Think about car seats, a stroller and whether your child might fall asleep on the way. Enter the full Rossland Road East address and plan a buffer so you can arrive without rushing a young child.

Talk about your child's health comfortably.
Parents usually describe their child's history best in their home language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call ahead to confirm who is available or to talk about bringing an interpreter to the appointment.
More than one child attending?
Tell us how many children and adults need medicals and their ages. If nap schedules, daycare pickup or a parent's work hours limit your choices, mention them so the team can discuss times that suit your family.
