They compare the chest x-rays done 3 months apart. If the same marks are on the x-ray and either the x-ray looks the same or clearer then you are fine.

I’m in the same situation, the doctor found some blur on my clavicle area, nowhere near the lungs, my lungs were clear but they still tested me for tb. Im going to have my re xray on march, Are the only things that change on an xray are spots and scars?

Impossible to say. Depends on how advanced your diabetes is, what kind of nerve damage you already have, your kidney function, the amount of insulin you use, etc. You should be aware the Canada doesn't have a national pharmacare program and insulin is quite expensive and diabetic supplies are not covered by most/all provincial governments. It will be very important for you to find a job that includes an extended health benefit plan.

Thanks a lot! I met my panel physician yesterday and I was asked if I had some older x ray of chest. I had the last one done on Nov 2011 that had the same reports as the one done for my medical a. Both say fibrotic opacities in the left lung. Will I face any problem?
I was also give an option if going in for sputum test. But doctor suggested me to forward my old X ray and wait for a response. Is it okay?

Hi,

I think this is the correct threads to add in and to consult with.

My timeline (I, spouse, and 3 children all below 14 yo):
- Job Advertisement: Sep 11, 2020
- LMIA Submitted: Dec 4, 2020 (LMIA Processing Time for PR Stream by December 2020: 22 working days)
- LMIA Positive Result: Jan 20, 2021
- Work Permit (including Spouse Open Work Permit) and 3x Student Permits submitted: Feb 18, 2021 (Working Visa Processing Time from Indonesia: 8 weeks)
- Biometric Invitation Letter (BIL) received: Feb 19, 2021
- Medical Check Up and Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) Requested by IRCC: Feb 23, 2021
- Biometrics submitted: Feb 25, 2021
- PCC submitted: Mar 1, 2021
- Medical Check Up submitted: Mar 3, 2021 (Medical Check up for 5 family members)
- Additional Medical Check Up Requested by IRCC: Mar 10, 2021 (this is a request only for my Spouse to give sputum sample)
- Additional Medical Check Up done/ submitted: May 3, 2021 (as Sputum result can only be seen after 8 weeks from Mar 3, 2021)

I am curious that the working visa process remains continuing or processed by IRCC as not to wait for this additional Medical Check Up to be completed at first. Now I am at waiting status.

Thank you and I will keep posted if there is some update.

Hi @Raman137,
I’m followong your case. Back in February 2021, you were asked to get some CT Scan. What’s the result afterwards?
Did you have any update from IRCC?

 

[Minadoodle]

Good day to everyone.

I just wanted to ask if there is anyone here had the same situation like ours where for my case I have to do a follow up CXR as my previous medical examination, the panel physicians saw something on my xray result and so I have to do sputum exam (which is already done last 6th Of May). Thankfully the smear results are negative for any TB related diseases, but still need to wait for 2months time for the culture result. And after that the IRCC send us letter regarding additional information for the follow up test.
After this.. how long will it take to have the decision from the IRCC after the final medical results which is the additional information.

Thank you.

Congrats on your PPR, g90!!
Its useful to see that the additional meds didn't distort your timeline too much.
I gave sputum samples 12 Apr and PP said the smear test came out negative. I should know the culture results in about three weeks.

Do you know, by any chance, if a second X-ray is always required?

How long did it take to get the smear test?

I also had this medical test requirement before a decision can be made but as i am undergoing the medical tests ircc refused my application idk why i m really worried consultant is saying because of this medical request not completed on time but its not my fault x ray after 3 months is to be done how could i proceed before that guide me plz i submitted my application on 26 march but on 26 april ircc made decision but during that time i was undergoing medical sputum tests.plz guide me if i need to reapply?

Hi,

I guess your query has already been answered and that's the correct information.

The other process goes in parallel and medical results have no bearing on the rest of the aspects of the application. This came to my knowledge after connecting with people in similar situation and then experienced it personally.

I have already received the PPR and was among the first few ones in the bracket of similar AOR. Hope that helps!

I recieved refusal before my medical examination what could be the reasons?
