One Stop Immigration Medical
Immigration medicals for Rouge Park Pickering families.
On Pickering's western edge, close to Rouge National Urban Park, families can plan an immigration medical at our Ajax clinic. The exam and bloodwork are in our suite, and chest X-rays are taken in the same building.
West Pickering families, Ajax clinic
Making the medical manageable with little ones.
Parents near the Rouge often arrive with a stroller, a snack bag and a toddler who would rather be outdoors. Our Ajax clinic keeps the panel physician exam, on-site bloodwork and the chest X-ray in the same building, so a family appointment does not stretch into a tour of several waiting rooms.
You may be adding a newborn to a permanent residence file, or bringing the whole family in after an IRCC request. Whatever the situation, each person's instructions determine the exam. Our team arranges the right booking, explains what to bring for a young child and tells you what will happen on the day.
Which medicals can families book?
- Canadian immigration medicals
- Children and adults in Rouge Park Pickering who are applying for permanent residence, or attending as workers, students, visitors or refugee claimants, can book here. Mention any IRCC instructions you hold.
- New Zealand medicals
- Is your young family moving to New Zealand? Our Ajax clinic can complete both full and partial New Zealand medicals for parents and children. Send the examination instructions so we can confirm the services each person needs.
- Embassy medicals
- Families relocating to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan can ask us about embassy medicals. Provide the forms and testing requirements from your destination before reserving a date.
A baby's instructions can differ from yours.
Parents sometimes assume a child needs exactly the same medical as the adults on the file. Look at each family member's instructions and see whether an upfront medical or a requested exam applies. If IRCC has written to you, share the letter and any deadline with our team when you call from Rouge Park Pickering.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
What to expect with children
One visit, explained step by step.
When you get to Ajax, everything the medical involves happens in one building. Ask about the expected length before planning a nap or a daycare pickup, as an extra report or test is sometimes needed.
Register each child
Hand over the identification and paperwork for every person being seen. Tell staff if a child's name is spelled differently on a birth certificate and a passport, or if a passport was just issued.
Meet the panel physician
The physician asks about each person's health history, medicines and any ongoing care. Parents can describe a young child's background and mention what helps them stay settled.
Tests based on age
Young children may not need the same tests as adults, and staff will confirm what applies. Bloodwork is done on site, and chest X-rays are completed in the same building.
Gather the paperwork
Keep every eMedical information sheet the clinic hands you. Before you buckle the children in, ask if anything is left to do and follow your application's instructions for proof of the exam.
Packing with small children
Keep the documents out of the diaper bag.
It is tempting to throw passports in with wipes and spare clothes. Give the paperwork its own zipped folder, with a section for each person, and make sure each identity document matches the child or adult attending. Pack snacks and a favourite toy separately.
If your children see a doctor in Pickering or Scarborough, bring copies of relevant reports, since we do not receive them on our own. Call ahead if you need language support, room for a stroller or an extra adult to help with siblings. Dress children in clothes that are quick to change and follow any instructions the clinic gives.

Fees for parents and children
Work out the family total.
Use the age bands below to estimate the fee for every child and adult. Younger children usually have fewer standard tests than older members of the family, so confirm the combined cost when you book. Embassy medicals and extra investigations are priced 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
Cash or debit is accepted at the clinic. Credit cards are accepted with an added $10 transaction fee. If additional testing is requested for anyone, ask what it will cost.
Refugee claimant coverage
Refugee claimant families in Rouge Park Pickering should phone with their Blue Cross coverage information before the appointment. Bring each family member's valid documents so staff can confirm eligibility and covered services for everyone.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Once the children are home
Keeping the file moving.
Finishing the visit does not automatically mean the medical is with IRCC. After the required examination and reports are complete, the clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. Keep each child's information sheet with their passport copies and application papers.
Please wait two weeks before ringing the clinic about submission. This is a guideline for follow-up, and it is not an IRCC processing estimate. If any family member needs an additional test or report, we will explain what remains. Let us know if your contact information changes.
Parents with questions about the clinic's submission can call our team. Application progress appears in your IRCC account. The panel physician supplies the medical findings, and IRCC makes the final decision on the exam and the application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For your child's health records
Interested in a results copy?
After submission, you can ask for an electronic copy of the results for your household records. It is an optional extra, kept apart from the eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
Each copy includes the immigration tests completed for that person. If you would like your child's doctor to review a result, bring the report to their next check-up.

Crossing Pickering to reach Ajax.
Our clinic is at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology. The building has free parking, which helps when you are lifting children out of the car. Add the suite number to your calendar entry so you can go straight to reception.
Because Rouge Park Pickering sits on the city's western side, the trip to Ajax takes you east across Pickering, usually by Highway 401 or Kingston Road. Put the full Rossland Road East address into your map app and allow time to unload car seats and a stroller. If another adult is driving, confirm where they will wait.

Speak in the language you prefer.
Explaining a child's health history is simpler in a language you know well. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Ask before your visit who will be on hand, or tell us you will be bringing an interpreter.
Coming with babies and older siblings?
When you book, tell us each child's age and how many medicals are needed. If nap times, school pickup or a partner's work hours affect your day, mention them so the team can discuss times that suit your family.
