Hi! I have a friend who was diagnosed with latent TB in May 2024 during a routine medical check for a new job. He arrived in Canada in September 2023, so this falls within the two-year period requiring disclosure on his post-graduate work permit application.
Since it’s latent TB, it is inactive and not contagious. He completed the full course of treatment provided by our local health clinic and received a certificate confirming he has no active TB and no restrictions related to work, study, or travel.
We're still very worried, though. Has anyone gone through something similar?
TLDR:
Friend diagnosed with latent TB in May 2024, arrived in Canada Sept 2023. Completed treatment, has medical clearance. Still worried — anyone with similar experience?
