A member asked what happens if a scar or spot appears on a dependent's chest x-ray during the immigration medical exam.
What the thread advised:- Follow whatever instructions IRCC sends — they will email you with next steps if anything needs following up. Don't take independent action based on assumptions about the finding.
- A common next step is being asked to complete an additional medical exam to clarify or rule out concerns raised by the initial x-ray finding.
Practical takeaway: an unusual chest x-ray finding for a dependent doesn't necessarily mean a problem with the application — it typically triggers a request for a follow-up medical exam. Wait for IRCC's email instructions rather than worrying prematurely, and complete any additional exam requested promptly to avoid delays.
