PREGNANT AFTER ITA

[ftfi]

Hi experts,

I just encounter a big dilemma right now. I found out that I am 10 weeks pregnant( very happy about it) and also got ITA in this month. I am principal applicant. yesterday, I went for the medical check and immigration doctor told me that he could not submit my medical file if the X-RAY is not completed. I plan to defer to do the X-RAY since not sure if there are any negative effects on baby.

I am afraid that if my medical check is not submitted, CIC would not start to look at my other files, like job references, background check, etc....
Initially, I decide to do the X-RAY after baby is born( that would be after 7 months later) and medical check is officially completed, but at that time if CIC starts to process other files and think there are problems, they will reject my application directly.

Crying for any advises if someone has same situation before.

Thank you.

Congratulations! Unfortunately cic will just put your application on hold until you are able to produce an x-ray. You can still submit your application, but they won't touch it until they get the xray

Also, what Kryt0n said.

Also amused at how you had to specify you're happy about it ;D

first congrats !

I was in your situation before. I just did the first part of medical and had a paper stating i was pregnant and will do the X-ray later. we sent our application and for personal reasons i didn't want to wait that long for our visa to be processed so i waited the 2nd trimester (after 12weeks) and decided to do the X-rays as "risks" are lower after the first trimester. When i went, i told the technician to be extra cautious because of the pregnancy and asked for the lead apron for my belly and asked hime to be as quick as possible. it literally only took a minute and the X-rays are only for the chest then with the lead apron the chances of radiations going on the belly are really small i believe.
i was a bit scared before and have read about it and to be honest the decision is up to you but i'm really healthy person eating organic homemade food not taking any kind of medications and had a natural home birth so i can tell you i'm taking care of myself and my baby but i decided the risks were so low and needed the pr to come asap. not there yet but pretty close i hope !
my son was born in january and is really healthy.

again it's your decision, this is just my experience. any other questions just pm me
good luck

Congrats on your pregnancy. in the meanwhile, please work on extra funds for your baby who is yet to be born. you will have to show funds for a family of 3 or more if this is not your first child.

so you are saying xrays in the 2nd trimester are less risky? We are planning to do our Xray post delivery (sometime mid november 2017). So I guess our file will be in pause till them
