yes, was approved in september, but they made a mistake and didn't send a passport request letter. They only noticed when my rep sent a inquiry a month later.

Hello, when I told about medical surveillance during landing process, officer handed me out a paper with phone number on it. But it was just like phone number for province. I called and they told me to contact public health unit in my region. Then I contacted TB nurse in public health and she told me to wait until I was under OHIP coverege. After 3 months I called her back and she mailed me a x-ray requisition and sent me to a doctor. After I completed those steps, TB nurse sent me a clearance letter from medical surveillance.

That was my experience in Waterloo region Ontario. It's hard to get an appointment in four days and get everything done. Maybe after you land you should call your local public health branch and ask.

Hello Everyone,

I have searched 12 pages deep and cant seem to find anything related to this topic. My husband who I am sponsoring recently did his medical exam and his GCKey account states he passed his medical exam. He received an e-mail today stating:

"The results of your immigration medical examination (IME) indicate that you are required to report to a provincial/territorial public health authority (P/T PHA), as you may have a medical condition considered to be one of public health significance in Canada requiring a medical follow-up referred to as surveillance.

The P/T PHA has the responsibility to conduct a medical follow-up according to established protocols. Therefore, you may receive a letter or a phone call from the P/T PHA regarding next steps to completing medical surveillance. The P/T PHA must inform Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that you have complied with medical surveillance for IRCC to update your file. If you have not heard anything from the P/T PHA after three months, please email the Public Health Liaison Unit at IRCC.MHBSurveillance-SurveillanceDGMS.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

For IRCC to notify the designated P/T PHA of your medical surveillance requirement, please kindly ensure that you have provided IRCC with your updated Canadian residential address. A copy of your IME will also be sent along with the notification. Please know that without a Canadian residential address, IRCC cannot inform the P/T PHA of your medical surveillance requirement. If you do not know your address upon arrival, or if you relocate to a different province prior to your appointment with public health, please email the Public Health Liaison Unit atIRCC.MHBSurveillance-SurveillanceDGMS.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

As a friendly reminder, failure to comply with all the conditions in this notice may be reportable under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and could have an adverse impact on your current and/or subsequent immigration applications to Canada.


Anyone else ever have this before and have any information, it would be truly helpful.

Thanks!

Did you end up applying for PR before you went for the medical survelliance?

I think you need the medical request letter they sent you and two pictures and passport for medical exam. I could be wrong too.

I already passed the medical exam. The BCCDC mailed me a letter of schedule for my medical surveillance bcoz I had TB before and was cured 8yrs ago. Then on the letter they told me to bring the letter they sent, my passport and immigration papers on the day of my schedule so I was just wondering what immigration papers could I bring cuz I haven't got approved yet for my PR but I have my OWP.

Hey Guys, I received an email from IRCC recently for P/T PHA about my inactive TB. I have some question about that.
My background: I just received invitation for Express entry and I am in Canada right now. Under work permit.
1) They sent that email to my old agent who is in my home country. I already left my email address and everything when I do upfront body check in Clinic. How should I modify the home address or email cause I am afraid I will miss the email or phone call for follow up surveillance.
2) What will happen for surveillance, I will affect the immigration officer make a decision for my PR? I already did the body check when I inland first time for studying in Canada. The doctor in Montreal told me the TB is already inactive for many years I don't need to worry about that. I don't know why they still need surveillance again.

Thanks for the help

You mayhave to repeat another chest x-ray or two and a sputum culture.
