Hi,

I applied for PR through Express entry. My wife was pregnant when she had medical exam, panel physician issued a deferral letter since she can't go through X-ray test.

Since the baby was born, we want to proceed with the X-ray that was missing, but panel physician in my area (California, US) says they will not see patients due to COVID-19, unless we have a IME number. The other panel physician is not accepting patients at all.

Does anyone know if I can request IME number from CIC in this scenario? Or can she do just X-ray from another clinic and submit it to the panel physician?

Thanks in advance.
