I’m pregnant. Can I wait until after I give birth to take the medical exam?
No. You still need to have a medical exam even if you’re pregnant.
However, some parts of the exam may be postponed until after you give birth. In that case, your application will be assessed only after all mandatory medical requirements are met.
You should discuss your options with the panel physician performing your medical exam.
