i visited our fam doctor, she advise to start the treatment. is the embassy will consider the start of treatment or i need to wait for the sputum and rpt xray.
IRCC will not consider any other doc consideration or treatment other than those nominated by them. So even though your family doc keep on saying anything they won't consider it. Moreover there is more likely the case that you had to take treatment in Canada and not in your home country. By the way if you don't mind sharing which country are you applying from?

Hello all. My spouse was asked to do a sputum smear and this is the fifth week. I wish to know if I’m the case of negative results after the eighth week we can get ppr or we must wait for the second X-ray.

Until and unless you do second xray there will be no activity. Your file will be on hold for that time though it may be a possibility that other checks are going on simultaneously.

Alright thanks. The anxiety is just too much. The checks are complete for me. The medical results are the only missing thing.

Hello all. Please do the panel physicians let us know when sputum smear and culture test results are available or they just wait to do X-ray after 3 months before giving us results?

As per IRCC sputum is ideally collected over 3 days.
Unfortunately IRCC will go with their medical panel opinion. This sputum and 3 months later xray is their second opinion. If it won't show any change as compared to the xray they at present have you will be cleared or otherwise medical surveillance.
Is there a mandatory three-month gap between receiving a negative sputum test result and undergoing a follow-up X-ray for Canada spouse visa medical purposes, even if the sputum test is negative?

Once my sputum test results return negative for the Canada visa medical examination, when am I eligible to apply for a second X-ray? I heard few people got their x ray on the same day and few people waited for 3 months

The next xray have to be after 3 months, that's the rule. Most of the cases sputum is negative, it's the xray that play a major part...
