My mother completed her immigration medical examination in Lahore Pakistan on October 26, 2026. During her chest X-ray, a spot was identified, so she was called back on October 27 for three sputum samples and culture testing. We were told the results would be sent directly to IRCC.

The clinic also scheduled a follow-up chest X-ray for January 26, 2027 (after three months).

However, on November 4, I received an email from the Regional Medical Office in New Delhi stating that additional medical information was required before a decision could be made. They instructed us to contact the panel physician within 30 days and specifically advised us not to complete a new medical examination.

I contacted MDH Islamabad and forwarded them the email. They confirmed that they had contacted the panel physician and they would contact us soon.

My questions:
  1. Could IRCC be requesting an earlier chest X-ray instead of waiting until January 26?
  2. Could they be requesting additional tests or information regarding the sputum and culture results?
  3. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
I would appreciate any advice or experiences, particularly from applicants who completed their medical examinations in Pakistan.

Thank you!
