It appears as though quite a lot of us have this problem.
My classes begin on 6th September, 2023.
I performed an upfront medical check from a panel physician on 21st May, 2023 and got informed the day after that there were spots visible on my lungs X-ray. I started the 3 day sputum test on the 23nd May, 2023 and finished on 25th May, 2023.
I have a few questions:
1. What happens at the end of the 8 weeks that it takes to generate the culture report?
2. Should I apply for the student visa now? Will the application be put on hold until the medical exam is cleared?
3. How long does the process take on average after the culture report provided that the rest of the observations are normal?
Hi,
I have similar situation and even same timeline! the difference is I'll be giving my Sputum test in second week of July, 2023. But I have already paid my non-refundable deposit. And my course will start on 1st September 2023. I am not sure, what I have to do now.
I'f everything goes smoothly according to timeline, I'll have my medical test with 2nd X-ray sorted by 15-20 September, 2023.
BUT - The course I have chosen, it won't have Winter Intake (Just Summer and Fall) ... because its of 2 years, so if I choose to deffer it... I'll end up with same course but in Summer 2024 (1 year would be wasted).
If I withdraw my application without filing visa, I'll loose that deposit money.
Can anyone guide me on this. FYI ..I am 99% positive that I don't have latent/Inactive TB. I had to take up a test recently (like a year ago) it came negative.
