Welcome to Range Lake Clinic













Range Lake Same-Day Clinic Dr. David Wong – Panel Physician for IRCC (in the Northwest Territories) Immigration Medical Instructions – Updated September 2026 There are two ways to complete an Immigration Medical Examination (IME): Upfront IME: You have not yet received an IMM1017E form from IRCC. There is no IRCC deadline. Arrange your laboratory testing, or plan to use the same-day walk-in laboratory process, then contact Dr. Wong's clinic to schedule your IME. IRCC-Requested IME: You have received an IMM1017E form or medical instructions from IRCC. Follow the deadline stated in your IRCC instructions, commonly 30 days. Arrange your laboratory testing, or plan to use the same-day walk-in laboratory process, and contact Dr. Wong's clinic promptly to schedule your IME. Immigration Medicals are preferably scheduled in advance. Walk-in examinations may be accommodated when clinic capacity allows. ________________________________________ Step 1 – Arrange Your Laboratory Testing You have two options: Option A – Book a laboratory appointment Call Stanton Territorial Hospital Laboratory: 867-767-9300 ext. 46673 Tell them that you require blood work for an Immigration Medical Examination. Required blood tests include: creatinine, HIV, and syphilis. The chest X-ray does not require an appointment. It is done on a walk-in basis at Stanton Territorial Hospital. OR Option B – Same-Day Walk-In Laboratory Testing Same-day laboratory appointments may be available through the Downtown Primary Care Laboratory. 1. Go to the Downtown Primary Care Laboratory at approximately 7:30 a.m. The laboratory is downtown beside the Independent Grocer and connected by the skywalk. Register and obtain a same-day appointment time. 2. Go to Stanton Territorial Hospital. Register at the hospital and pay the required hospital fee. 3. Complete your chest X-ray at Stanton Territorial Hospital. The chest X-ray is walk-in and does not require an appointment. 4. Return to the Downtown Primary Care Laboratory at your assigned time. Complete the required blood work. IMPORTANT: Complete the blood work and chest X-ray on the SAME DAY whenever possible. If you complete them on different days, you may be charged an additional $200 hospital fee. Do not leave after completing only the blood work. Please make sure the chest X-ray is also completed that day.

If your passport has only ONE name: We will assign a technical format in eMedical to comply with the system requirements. Occasionally, laboratory systems may reject submissions due to a mismatch in name formatting. If this occurs, we will resolve it. This has happened before, and we have always successfully completed submissions. ________________________________________ Timeline IME appointment: 1-2 hours, depending on complexity. Hospital lab and X-ray: scheduled separately by the hospital. HIV and syphilis are processed in Edmonton (approximately 3 days). IRCC requires submission within 10 days of IME.
