One Stop Immigration Medical
Immigration medicals in your language, near Riverside Ajax.
Prefer to talk about your health in Dari, Punjabi, Arabic or another familiar language? From Riverside Ajax, our clinic is a short local trip, with the exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray in one building.
For Riverside Ajax households
Clear communication from the first call.
Riverside Ajax is home to households where several languages are spoken around the dinner table, and grandparents, parents and children may each feel most at ease in a different one. When an application calls for a medical, our Ajax clinic offers the panel physician exam with bloodwork on site and chest X-rays in the same building, and a team that speaks a range of languages.
Begin with the instructions for each person's application, and ask a trusted adult to help you read them if English is not your strongest language. Once you know which medical is required, our team can book the visit, explain what to bring and discuss the language support that will work for you.
Finding your medical type
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Riverside Ajax residents applying for permanent residence, a work or study permit, a visitor record or a refugee claim that requires a medical. Bring your IRCC request so we can book the correct exam.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is someone in your Riverside Ajax home planning a move to New Zealand? We can arrange either a full or a partial medical for you. Share the examination instructions and we will confirm the services needed.
- Embassy medicals
- Travelling from Riverside Ajax to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan? Ask us about an embassy medical, and send the forms and testing list from your destination before we arrange the visit.
Understand your instructions before booking.
Relatives back home or friends in the community may describe a medical process that differs from yours. Check whether your application calls for an upfront exam or one arranged after IRCC sends a request. If you have a request letter, mention it and its deadline to our team when booking.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
Inside the clinic
Each part of your visit, explained clearly.
All of the examination and testing takes place in one building, so there is only one set of directions to understand. Ask how long the appointment may take before arranging a ride, since some people need extra reports or investigations.
Register at the front desk
When you reach Suite 403, hand your identification and medical instructions to the front desk. If your name has been written in English letters in more than one way, or your passport is new, point this out at check-in.
Speak openly with the physician
Share your health history, medicines and current treatment with the panel physician. If a word or question is unclear, ask for it to be explained again; it is important that you understand.
Take the required tests
Staff explain which tests you need. Bloodwork is drawn on site and the chest X-ray is in the same building, so you do not need to find your way to another address.
Confirm the next steps
Hold on to the eMedical information sheet the front desk gives you. Before you go, ask whether anything is outstanding, and make sure you understand how your application asks for proof of the exam.
Preparing in any language
Write down your history in advance.
Medical words can be the hardest part of speaking a second language. Before the visit, write a short note about past illnesses, operations and medicines, in English or your own language, to help you remember. Keep it with your passport, request letter and health records in one folder.
If your doctor in Riverside Ajax has relevant records, ask for copies and bring them yourself instead of assuming they will be sent. Call us before the appointment if you need language support, mobility assistance or a support person. If you plan to bring an interpreter, choose an adult and discuss it with us first. Wear comfortable clothing and follow any instructions given.

- Your passport or other identification accepted for an immigration medical, showing your name as it appears on your application.

Understanding the cost
Ask us to explain the fees.
The age bands below list the fee for each person. If several relatives are attending, ask the team to confirm the total for your household when you book, because tests vary by age. Talk with the clinic separately about embassy medicals and any extra investigations.
Ages 11–14
$200

Ages 15+
$250

Payment options

Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimants in Riverside Ajax should call ahead with their Blue Cross coverage details. Bring your 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 the visit is over
Understanding what happens next.
The medical file is not finished on the day of your visit. Once the examination and any reports are complete, the clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical on your behalf. Keep the information sheet in a safe place with your other immigration papers.
Please give the clinic two weeks before you phone about your submission. This is a guideline for when to contact us, and it is not an IRCC processing time. If a further test or report is required, we will explain clearly what is outstanding. Please tell us if your phone number or email changes.
Our multilingual team can answer questions about the clinic's submission. To see your application's progress, use your IRCC account. The panel physician's role is to provide the medical findings; IRCC alone makes the final decision on the exam and your application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
Your own record
Would a copy of your results be useful?
After your case is submitted, you can request an electronic copy of your results to keep. It is entirely your choice and does not replace what the clinic submits through eMedical.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
In the copy, you will see each immigration test completed for your case. If you would like your doctor in Riverside Ajax to explain a result, bring the copy to your appointment.
