Step 1
Book an appointment at our clinic.
Contact our clinic and book your Immigration Medical Examination with one of our Panel Physicians. Be mindful of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada timelines when scheduling your appointment.
Step 2
Visit our clinic for your Immigration Medical Exam.
The entire immigration medical exam is done at our centre. We provide urine and blood testing, and have an x-ray clinic in our building as well, so you can complete the additional testing you need in one location. You will be required to pay for your exam on the day of your appointment.
Step 3
We submit your exam results online to the government.
Once your immigration medical exam is done, we will electronically send the results to Immigration Canada. We also give you a document with your case number (IME/UMI) to confirm that you have completed your exam. Reports are submitted within 5-10 days of your exam.

Immigration Medical Exams for Scarborough Residents
Scarborough is home to one of the most diverse immigrant communities in Canada, and many residents here are navigating IRCC applications for permanent residence, sponsorship, or study and work permits. If you need an Immigration Medical Exam, GTA Immigration Medical — an IRCC-approved panel physician clinic just north in Markham — is an easy trip from neighbourhoods like Agincourt, Malvern, Milliken, Scarborough Town Centre, and Rouge.
The Drive Up from Scarborough
From the central and eastern parts of the city, Highway 401 to Markham Road (Highway 48) northbound takes you up to Highway 7, where you turn toward the clinic. From the west end of Scarborough, Highway 404 or the DVP up to the 407, then east to Highway 7, is often quicker. Most Scarborough residents arrive in about 20 to 30 minutes. Parking is free and plentiful in the Liberty Square plaza — a welcome change from hunting for a spot downtown.
If you rely on transit, TTC routes connect Scarborough to York Region, where you can transfer to YRT/Viva service along the Highway 7 corridor. GO Transit's Stouffville line is also an option for reaching the Markham area from Scarborough's east side.
Why Scarborough Applicants Come to Us
Rather than booking a physician in one place, an x-ray somewhere else, and bloodwork at a third lab, you complete the entire IME — exam, chest x-ray, blood test, and urine test — in a single same-day appointment at one location. Given how much of Scarborough's community speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, our multilingual staff (Cantonese and Mandarin, and Punjabi at times) often make the difference in helping applicants feel understood.
Common Questions from Scarborough Patients
Do I need a doctor's referral? No. You can book your panel exam directly with us.
Will OHIP cover this? No — Immigration Medical Exams are not covered by provincial health insurance. That's why we keep our pricing transparent and tell you the full cost up front.
How long does it take? Most appointments are completed within the same visit, so you can plan a single trip up from Scarborough.
