About this Service
Canadian pilots and air traffic controllers are required by Transport Canada to hold a valid Medical Certificate issued after a Civil Aviation Medical Examination (CAME). Saldanha Health Centre at 550 Matheson Blvd W, Unit 107, Mississauga, has physicians designated as Civil Aviation Medical Examiners (CAME) authorized to conduct aviation medicals under Transport Canada's Civil Aviation Medicine division.
Aviation medicals are required for all categories of Canadian pilot licences — including Student Pilot, Private Pilot (PPL), Commercial Pilot (CPL), and Airline Transport Pilot (ATPL) licences — as well as for air traffic controllers. The examination assesses vision, hearing, cardiovascular health, neurological function, and overall fitness to fly. Category 1 (commercial) and Category 3 (private) medicals have different standards, and our physician will guide you through the specific requirements for your licence category.
Peel Best Pharmacy is co-located immediately next door, providing convenient access to any required laboratory tests or vaccinations associated with your aviation medical. Book your aviation medical at Saldanha Health Centre: (905) 890-8183.
