When a pregnant client chooses to defer the chest x-ray in an immigration medical examination, the panel physician records the deferral and gives the client written instructions. The rest of the IME is completed, and the health case is placed on hold until the post-partum chest x-ray is done. In eMedical, the system generates the deferral letter and an x-ray requisition for the client.
The panel physician completes the client details (UCI, IME and UMI numbers, photo) and names the designated radiology clinic, then gives the instructions and x-ray requisition to the client. The client is responsible for getting the x-ray as soon as possible after pregnancy.

The panel physician completes every other part of the exam and the health case is put on hold. Migration officers see the status On hold pregnancy until the post-partum chest x-ray is done, after which the results go to IRCC for assessment by the Regional Medical Office.
No, the choice is the client's. If she proceeds with the chest x-ray with adequate pelvic lead shielding, no changes apply; if she defers, the IMM 5733 process applies and the IME is finalized only after the post-partum x-ray results are available.
