IMMIGRATION MEDICALS
We’re happy to do immigration medical exams the same day, Monday to Saturday, at one of our two clinics. If you can’t find a time online, please call us.
The exams take about 30 minutes. Please note that in many cases your family doctor cannot perform the exam. This is because a doctor must be specially certified to perform immigration medical exams. Please bring a list of any medications you’re currently taking and any past or current medical conditions that required treatment from a physician specialist (ie. someone that your Family Doctor referred you to).

- Streamlined medical exam — $250
After the exam our doctors will provide you with a requisition, and you’ll need to have a chest X-ray ($50) and blood work done ($105).

You may eat and drink prior to all of your exams if you wish.
