Sputum test 2018

[dulalialimberly]

Good day Everyone!

Just had my medical test and the panel is requiring me to do a sputum test for 3 consecutive days and a clearance of my treatment, they told me that once they got the fluid they need to culture it for 2 MONTHS.

Here are my questions :

1.What if the result is positive?
2.What if I unable to produce the clearance of my medication years ago?
3. will this be a cause of delay, for how long?
4.Should I inform IRCC that I have an upcoming sputum test? where can i contact them?

if there is any suggestions I'am more than willing to listen to it.

Many Thanks!

If you get a positive results you will be required to do treatment for your tb in your home country. They will try more medication if it wasn’t cured. Process will be delayed until your sputum test comes back clean. Wait and see whether the rest is positive.

Same here. My husband did his medical exam at st lukes and was told that he needs to undergo sputum test. I’m afraid it will delay the process of our application. I have friends who got cleared from M.E and got PPR after 2 weeks. I just hope that it will turn out negative.

Hi luckystars,

I have the same case with your husband. I just finished Medical last week but I have to undergo sputum test due to a very small nodule found in my x-ray. I have annual PE with my company but its always clear the Panel Physician told me it is very small but is still significant with the immigration.
Can you share what happened to your husband's case?

Hi, I had my medical exam at St lukes extension office in Ermita Sept 27, 2021)and they found some irregularities on my xray, i did the smear test and tested negative Oct 6,2021, culture of sputum also tested negative (Nov 30) did my repeat xray this morning Dec 28 and was told that they need a second opinion on the results of my xray.
I am asked to go back to the clinic for pulmonologist to explain their findings. Has anyone experienced this too?
hope there someone out there who can enlighten me on what happens next having had this case now.
It has been a very stressful and frustrating waiting game.
My application is for a TRV for Canada.
