You need to wait for IRCC to process your medical. Most likely you will be asked to take additional tests.
thank you for your response, it will take how many days before the IRCC will respond? what additional test?
Something like active TB could make you inadmissible, because it could be a danger to others.

Exceptions to medical inadmissibility
Members of the family class are medically inadmissible if they are likely to be a danger to public health or to public safety or if they have a condition that might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services [A38(1)].
However, there is an exception to this medical inadmissibility. The following individuals cannot be found inadmissible on grounds that they might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services [A38(2)(a), R24]:
- a sponsored spouse, common-law or conjugal partner
- a sponsored child or child to be adopted
- a dependent child of a sponsored spouse, common-law or conjugal partner

We won't be able to tell you that. However even if you have TB that is inactive, you would have to go through a few months of treatment and additional tests before your medical can be approved. You'll eventually be approved. It may just take more time.
how long will it take? the medication and additional test will be held where i did my previous medical exam?
im thinking to do mu additional test to another panel doctors, is it possible?

If you are required to complete the TB round of medications the. I believe that's another thee months. Going to another panel doctor won't change the situation.
after the TB treatment, whats next? iam the one who will update the IRCC regarding the completed treatment? once medical is approved, whats the next step?
Once you will complete with the treatment your panel doc will inform IRCC and then IRCC will respond you that you had complied with the treatment. Usually a response is received within a week or so after treatment is done and IRCC is informed timely by panel doc.
