Here's the interesting part: I've read here that everyone are asked to do re-xray, but my PP didn't mention any of this, he was talking only about sputum culture analysis. Now I suggest that he will tell me about it later. Or he just forgot, no idea, actually
Sputum culture result due is due March 20. What about you?
Maybe it depends on where you’re from or your hospital? I’m from the Philippines, they just told me that if they don’t call me before my sputum culture which is about to end this coming thursday, then i should just come back on march 13 for my re xray. They repeat the xray for canada, australia, and new zealand if im not mistaken. But for countries like the US after the 2 month waiting time they just pass their medical apparently.. i hope everything turns out well for you my friend! The waiting sucks but just take one day at a timeHere's the interesting part: I've read here that everyone are asked to do re-xray, but my PP didn't mention any of this, he was talking only about sputum culture analysis.

Hello, anyone who has experience, need some insight please. My mom went for 3 days sputum test because of a haze in the lungs (St. Lukes Manila). This was done on feb 5,6,7 and turned out negative. On monday feb 10 she provided her old xray to the doctor. This xray is 4 months old and is very normal, no haze or anything. The doctor accepted it and made a copy. He said we will wait 2 months for the sputum culture result and re xray will only depend on that. The result is supposed to come out on april 3. But the next day she received a call and she was told that after comparing with the old xray with the new one, they definitely don't match so clinic decided she has to go for re xray on May 5th. My mom asked about the culture test if it's still on but they couldn't say yes right away, and just said we're just gonna wait for re xray and we'll decide from there. So it's not clear and we don't know what to expect. Will they still proceed with culture test or not? What happens if re xray shows clear again, does it mean she passed? And what if no change and haze is still there? Does it mean she got infected in between the 4 month old xray and now? We are really worried if providing that old xray worsens the situation or helped it. Please, anyone's opinion is appreciated. Thank you.
Hi!
would like to ask your insights about my situation. I am in my 3rd month of Anti TB medication an will be done in May. I applied to Seneca last Feb 10, thinking that my application decision will be approved after 2 to 4 months (based on some forum answers about how long seneca sends offer letter). However, they sent me an offer letter only after 4 days!
now im contemplating whether to accept the offer or not as I am scared that my student visa wil get delayed or disapproved!
Now my question is: would it be best if I pay the school fees, then apply for student visa after the medication, which is in May? which gives me only 4 months to process visa in the Philippines
or b.) ignore the offer letter and apply again once done with the medication (huhuhu)
Thank you! Hope to hear your insights or even suggestions.

Canada has a very low TB rate except in refugees, homeless and aboriginal people on reserves. Canada wants to keep it that way so screens heavily for TB in regions where it is more prevalent. Given that TB has become drug resistant and many areas and the treatments are pretty long and brutal and may not cure you can understand why the screening are done.
Providing the previous x-ray confirmed that something new was going on in her lungs and it wasn’t old scaring. They will do the sputum culture which takes a long time because it takes a long time for sputum to grow bacteria and fungus. A repeat x-ray at 2-3 months is pretty standard. They will compare the 2nd and 3 to x-rays and if the 3rd is clear then it is fine. If it is still cloudy your mother needs to be investigated for other issues. The clear 1st x-ray is actually a good comparison. For example if she had a mark on the 2nd and the repeat x-ray and the culture was negative it would be determined that it is scar tissue.
Thank you for your insight! We are praying really hard that it will be cleared on the next xray.
I have a question.
after having gone through the whole medical process while applying for study permit and got medical passed and underwent surveillance in Canada.
OP now In home country filing for express entry; will he/she go through same medical process as it is understood that scars from previous TB are always there.
Is there any record of OP having underwent surveillance and cleared while in Canada

You should get a copy of the x-ray done from the study visa which can be compared to the current chest x-ray. If they are the same there will be no need for anymore testing.
That’s reasonable.
The question is does the embassy have precious X-ray files? and I believe they should be the one to do the comparison to present X-ray file.
it would be the panel doctor who would look at the x-rays first. Not sure how it works in your home country. Most places have digital medical imaging these days so hopefully the doctor or the clinic where you had the x-ray done with have a copy of thex-ray. If the doctor doesn’t suggest it point out that you had another medical and could they compare the previous x-ray to this one to hopefully show that there have been no changes your lung.
Hello Friends,
I had given sputum smear test and sputum culture test, smear result came out after one week which is negative, and bow waiting for culture results.
1. My query is how long exactly they will announce result, they gave 08 weeks time which is too long, should i email to IOM to speed up process?
2. I had gone thru
# skin test, # mtb and blood test for t.b all are negative... Should i share these test reports with IRCC on webform, its feasible...?
Pls response
