My mother went for upfront medical last week and they discovered a spot in her chest x-ray and then they asked her to pay extra fees and advised to come for some kind of test for three consecutive days which she did and then they told her to come again in mid April for another checkup. I think the x-ray spot lead them to suspect TB but my mother has no TB symptoms, she lives in a healthy environment and she has recently traveled back home after spending almost a year here in Canada.
IRCC takes TB pretty seriously. It is a communicable disease and IRCC will not issue any visa to her until her TB has been declared as inactive. Even when she is in Canada, she can be asked to go for further medical checkups.
It is possible that the scarring on the lungs was because your mom probably had pneumonia in even her childhood(??) Don't worry it can be cured.
Did the TB culture test turn out as positive? Or was it only scarring on the lungs?
You may want to get your mom tested for TB (chest x-rays, etc) from a private clinic to be double sure. This would help your mom to take any medication, if required..... or then these second set of tests will indicate that there's nothing of concern.
April is two and half months from now. I was thinking if she doesn't get medical clearance there in Islamabad then I will file her supervisa application in mid April and she is also coming here in April end so, so once she is here and if IRCC requests medical then we will take it from there for medical to visa stamping.
This won't work because:
1. You cannot apply for a super visa from within Canada
2. She has a super visa application that's still in progress at least until end-April (until you get a decision).
3. IRCC will not issue a second medical request and/or a visa until she is given an all-clear for the current tests.
4. She could possibly be asked to go for check-ups even if she arrives this time on a TRV,
