You need to call them once you are here. They will help setup your appointments and usually they can wait for public coverage to start.
Not sure about soft landing, but very likely they will ask you to call back again once you have landed. This is since there is no point in doing surveillance if you are not in Canada.
Do you know what usually they tell you? Apart from brief interview, are they asking to submit/fax/email all your medical reports and the medical surveillance form? This is maybe hard for me since I have no one can help me atleast to scan my forms to email it to them. Im going there alone with no relatives.

Would imagine they may want you to come in and do a chest x-ray or report any cough. That is if you are being monitored for TB.
Ohh. How many times did you that (xray and cough monitoring)? So basically the call you will be making is just for them to schedule your appointment for your xray?
I believe the initial contact is just to get on the list of people they are monitoring. I think the level of monitoring and when/if you’d have to visit public health would vary case by case. Not sure if and when you’ll have to do a chest x-ray. Canada keeps track of everyone with communicable diseases like can be for various reasons. Medical surveillance won’t be a big deal.
Yes, please plan to bring all your past prescriptions and medical reports. The doctor that you would be referred to could ask for these to make decisions based on those. Remember that it is your goal to prove that your medical condition is not a threat to public health. Not having these documents could in the worst case mean you are kept on a longer surveillance and asked for routine check ups or treatment.
Thank you. I can easily provide those documents upon check-up with the doctor. Im just worried if the they asked me to email or fax these documents before I go to my appointment doctor because I have no way to scanner to email it to them or fax machine.
Thank you so much. I guess I just have to call them first and wait for further instructions. I hope this wont cause me hassle and huge expense. Thanks again!
