AOR Sept 17th 2018
I had received my GCMS notes today and the following statement was under description in Medicals
"Has a condition that might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services to such an extent that the applicant is inadmissable under section 38(1)
IME status : Assessed
IME status reason : Not Granted.
S Profile 2.02
Description: Inactive Tuberculosis
What does this mean ? Is it only surveillance or I might receive a PFL or rejection??
Eligibility: met
Medicals : In progress
Criminality: Passed
Can someone let's us know what IME status reason is ?
For PA IME status is Granted
By the way, did they ask for a phlegm test? Or the applicant disclosed in act be TB or the TB blood test showed TB?
Usually, abnormalities showing on x-ray is sent to a phlegm test which is a culture test that can take up to 3 months to prove their is no active TB and if so applicant is issued visa and they get a letter to see a doctor in Canada.
In Canada 3 courses of antibiotics is prescribed to prepare the patient against future TB issues.
Maybe rules are changed and they will ask applicant to do the same in home country bit I doubt it.
