I am pregnant, can I defer a chest X-RAY?

Yes. It is your responsibility to complete the X-RAY after birth and notify our office when it is done.
Please provide your visa office with a copy of the Pregnancy Deferral Document.

If the client chooses to defer her chest x-ray (CXR) because of pregnancy, the following steps apply:

• eMedical informs IRCC electronically when a CXR is deferred. The health case is put on hold when an applicant is pregnant and chooses to defer her CXR.
• eMedical generates a CXR requisition and instructions, which are then provided to the applicant.
• eMedical generates a “Pregnancy Deferral Letter” with instructions for the applicant.

If the applicant is greater than 20 weeks gestation she may wish to discuss proceeding with the x-ray.

How long is the exam valid for?

It is valid for 12 months.
