Basically, you need to send a CSE to CIC, and they will allow you to defer your wife's medical until after the baby is born. At that point, the baby will also need a medical if it is moving to Canada with you (unless it's already a Canadian citizen).
Many thanks istari. i am inside Canada so as you stated baby does not required Medicals.
I check with Medical office here, they will not issue any x-ray deferral letter it seems. so i am not sure attaching LOE(Letter of Explanation) will do. and submit the X-Ray after baby born.

Guys, I would be extremely grateful if somebody can help with me my unusual scenario.
For background purposes, I had received an ITA back in April 2016 and me and my wife then got our medicals done in May 2016. Our e-medical Information Sheet mentions this "This health case was submitted to CIC on 16 May 2016. However, my application was rejected because there was an issue my spouse's PCC. I created a new Express Entry profile and received an ITA again on November 2, 2016.
Now here's my dilemma. My spouse currently is 6 weeks pregnant. This means her due date is around late June 2017 or early July 2017. I cannot go and do another medical now because we can't take the risk of getting a chest x-ray done while my wife is pregnant. If I go to the panel physician and tell him that my wife is pregnant, they will issue a Client X-Ray deferral letter, which is fine but the issue is CIC will not process the application until the medicals are fully done (meaning my wife's X-ray is also done). 6 months Application processing timeline of CIC means the date is around May 2017 starting from now. But my wife is not expected to deliver until June 2017 and I cannot get an X-ray done before June 2017. So what should I do?
The solution I have is that instead of getting a new medical done, I should use our old medicals which is still valid until 16 May 2017 as per my understanding. However, I've read that CIC wants the medicals to be valid for at least 6 months at the time of submission of your application. If I have to meet that criteria, this means I need to submit my application before 15th November 2016. Am i right in this assessment?
Please suggest a course of action. Would be extremely grateful.
