One Stop Immigration Medical
Sponsorship medicals for Southwest Ajax couples.
Sponsoring a spouse or partner from Southwest Ajax? Our clinic is a short drive north in town, and the panel physician exam, bloodwork and chest X-ray are completed in one building.
For couples in Southwest Ajax
Handle the medical together, one step at a time.
In Southwest Ajax, between Duffins Creek and the waterfront, many couples are working through a sponsorship file while setting up a shared home. When the sponsored partner needs a medical, our Ajax clinic offers the panel physician exam, with blood samples collected on site and chest X-rays in the same building.
The sponsored person should read the instructions for their own application, with their partner helping to organise the calendar if that is welcome. Once the requirement is clear, our team can book the appointment, list what to bring and explain how the visit works.
Booking the right medical
- Canadian immigration medicals
- For Southwest Ajax residents being sponsored as a spouse or partner, or applying for permanent residence, work, study, a visit or a refugee claim. Keep the IRCC request ready so we can book accordingly.
- New Zealand medicals
- Are you and your partner moving from Southwest Ajax to New Zealand? Full and partial medicals can be booked for one or both of you. Send the examination instructions for each applicant and we will confirm the required services.
- Embassy medicals
- If a posting or family move is taking you from Southwest Ajax to Saudi Arabia, Greece, Thailand or Taiwan, ask about an embassy medical. Share the destination's forms and testing list before booking.
Start with the sponsored partner's instructions.
What your sponsor or another couple did may not match what your own file asks for. Check whether the application expects an upfront medical or one arranged after IRCC sends a request. If you have a request letter, tell our team about it and the stated deadline when booking.
Review the official guidance for permanent residence applicants or visitors, students and workers.
During the sponsored partner's visit
How the medical works on the day.
The exam and testing are completed in one place, so you will not need to coordinate two schedules for a second trip. Ask how long the appointment may take before either partner books time off, because some applicants need extra reports or investigations.
Begin at the desk
At Suite 403, the applicant presents identification and medical instructions. If a married name, a former surname or a renewed passport appears in your paperwork, mention it during check-in.
Meet the physician in private
The applicant discusses health history, medication and current treatment with the panel physician. A partner can wait outside, as the applicant may prefer to speak privately and ask their own questions.
Finish the testing
Staff walk the applicant through the tests their medical requires. Bloodwork happens on site and chest X-rays are in the same building, so the couple does not need to travel anywhere else that day.
Note the next steps together
Keep the eMedical information sheet with the sponsorship paperwork. Before leaving, ask whether anything is outstanding and review how the application asks for proof of the exam.
Getting ready as a couple
Share the planning, not the paperwork.
Sponsorship files tend to gather joint documents, so it is easy to mix up whose passport is whose. Keep the applicant's identification, request letter and health records in a separate folder from the sponsor's papers. Check that each item belongs to the person attending.
If the applicant has a doctor in Southwest Ajax, bring copies of relevant records instead of assuming they will be sent to us. Tell us before the visit if language support, mobility help or a companion is needed. Comfortable clothing is best, along with any preparation instructions the applicant receives.
Read the full exam preparation guideThe applicant should bring
- The applicant's own passport or other identification accepted for immigration medicals.
- The sponsored partner's medical request letter or form, if issued, and their application instructions.
- A list of current medications with names and doses.
- Any specialist letters, medical reports or earlier test results relevant to the applicant.
- The applicant's glasses or contact lenses, if they need them.
- Valid coverage documents, if the applicant is requesting refugee claimant coverage.
Planning household costs
Budget for the medical with your other fees.
Check the applicant's age band below to see what to plan for. If dependent children are also part of the sponsorship, ask the team for a total when booking, as tests vary by age. Embassy medicals and extra investigations are not part of these bands, so discuss them with the clinic.

$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
Couples can pay by cash or debit, or by credit card with a $10 transaction fee added. If additional testing is requested, ask the team what it will cost before proceeding.
Refugee claimant coverage
If someone in your Southwest Ajax household is booking as a refugee claimant, call ahead with their Blue Cross coverage details. Valid documents brought on the day let the team confirm eligibility and covered services.
Testing can vary with your medical history or IRCC instructions. The panel physician will confirm what is needed for your case.
Once you are home again
Following the file after the medical.
The appointment and the completion of the medical file happen separately. After the examination and any needed reports are complete, the clinic submits Canadian immigration medicals through eMedical. File the information sheet with the rest of your sponsorship records.
Give it two weeks before either of you calls the clinic about the submission. That period is a clinic follow-up guideline, not an indication of IRCC processing. If an additional test or report is needed, we will explain what is outstanding to the applicant. If the applicant's phone number or email changes, please let us know.
If either partner has a question about the clinic's submission, our team can help. Follow the application's progress in your IRCC account. The panel physician reports the medical findings, while IRCC decides on the exam and the sponsorship application. Read IRCC’s medical exam guidance.
For the applicant's records
Would the applicant like a copy?
After the case is submitted, the applicant can ask for an electronic copy of their results. Ordering it is optional and separate from the clinic's eMedical submission.
$10 copy service fee
Allow up to one week after payment for electronic delivery.
It records the immigration tests completed for the applicant's case. If the applicant's doctor in Southwest Ajax wants to discuss a result, the copy can be brought to that appointment.
Order your resultsHeading north from Southwest Ajax
A short drive across town.
Find us at Suite 403, 300 Rossland Road East, Ajax, ON L1Z 0M1, inside Rossland Radiology, with free parking on site. From the southwest of town, the drive heads north across Highway 401 and stays within Ajax, so it is easy to fit around a working day.
Add the complete Rossland Road East address to a shared calendar so both partners have it, and leave enough time to reach the suite before the appointment. If one partner is dropping the other off, agree on a pickup spot and time beforehand.
Not driving? Durham Region Transit runs buses through south and north Ajax, so check your connection and return before leaving. Plan your trip with Durham Region Transit
Is another language easier?
A newly arrived partner may find medical questions easier in their first language. Our team speaks English, French, Dari, Farsi, Filipino, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and Arabic. Call before the appointment to check availability, or to let us know an interpreter is coming.
Are children included in the sponsorship?
Give us each person's age and the number of medicals required when you call. If both partners work or the children have school commitments, share that so the team can suggest appointment options that fit.
