Thank you everyone for the replies. Im in the same situation - pregnant and in process of applying for PR through my common law partner. I understand that due to being unable to complete the medical exam the PR application will be put on hold. I submitted application for work permit along with the PR application so here's my question - will incomplete medical examination also put my work visa application on hold?
Medical test for pregnant applicant

Hi guys,
Any updates here? What was the outcome? I'm in the same situation. We are going to do my wife's medical exams next Monday and we are planning to defer the x-ray, it's frustrating because we are at the end of our process, the process is estimated to end in June (20 months) and the baby will be born only in August, if our application will be on hold until there I don't know when this nightmare will end. Our WP will also expire in September

The application cannot be finalized until your wife has the x-ray. So yes - the application is going to be held up until after the baby is born.Hi guys,

I was in the same boat as you until last week (doubting if X-ray is safe and weights up the benefits of getting it done instead of delaying). I went through several doctors in three different countries and the recommendations I got were that 1. Its safe to do the X-ray if you’re past first trimester (but try to leave the X-ray to the last minute to give your baby as much time to grow as possible) 2. Lung X-ray means they take one photo and it’s taken from behind. They also cover your belly with a metal shield to protect the baby from any radiation. Several doctors said to me the radiation you get from lung X-ray equals with the radiation you get from l 2 hours on an airplane.
The choice is yours of course.

Urgent inquiry:
I am the Principal Applicant. My spouse was pregnant when she went for medicals, so her chest x-ray was deferred until after delivery of the baby. She did the medicals in country A but moved to country B to have the baby. We visited a Panel Physician in country B to complete the x-ray but he said he cannot add the x-ray to the existing file, because the case is locked. And he cannot do a new complete medical for my spouse because her existing e-Medical case is not expired. We cannot go back to country A because it's 13,000 km away, and we need visas. We contacted our original Panel Physician in country A to help, but she said her hands are tied.
I need suggestions here, on how to go about resolving this.

Even if the process was at the end? We were about to receive the PPR for sure. I friend who applied 1 week before us, got it 2 months ago.
