Medical surveillance before CorPR

[isabell.L]

Hi all, my PR application is still in process and I already passed the medical exam, however I got a notice of Medical Surveillance from IRCC( Inactive TB), and also a letter from the PHA told me to make an appointment with them for the follow up.
My question is, do I need to comply this request to get my PR? or I can do it after Landing? Does this affect my application if I dun do it now?

My immigration consultant told me I dun have to do anything because my ME shows passed, but the email from IRCC says 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.
I am very confused what to do next, anyone has the same experience?

below is the Email I received from IRCC.)
Thank you !!




Good day,

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.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, response times and the availability of appointments has been affected. This means it may take longer than 3 months for your appointment to be scheduled. If you have not heard anything from the P/T PHA after six 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 at IRCC.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.

A copy of this correspondence will be included in your file.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important request.

Hi Isabell,

Do you mind sharing how you resolved this? My application hasn't been approved yet and I have passed medicals since January this year. I'm worried that disclosing my TB history is why my application hasn't been approved yet.

I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis some years back. I completed a 6 months treatment course and everything has been fine since then. During my medicals, I also disclosed this and was made to do additional tests. Everything came out fine and I passed medicals.

Did you get PPR shortly after you got the email or your application is still in progress?

Had a relative who was asked to do a 3 month sputum test and had to get the full results before PR was approved, and they had to repeat it again upon settling in Canada for the surveillance.

they were also called to secondary every time they reentered Canada, presumably because of the surveillance flag

As long as you pass your medical exam you will be fine, did they put you on Medical Surveillance?
My case is a bit complicated, it got stuck there for a year because some document somehow was never be able to reach their office, however, it has nothing to do with the medical exam.
I had my second medical exam cos my first one expired, but the x-ray was the same as last year, so they didnt ask me to do extra test again and just let me through and I got my PR few weeks later.
As long as they make sure you dun have active TB they will let you pass, but they might put you on Medical Surveillance, if you receive the email you just need to wait until your got your PR then call PHA to make appointment.

Well not yet. My application has not been finalised yet but I have passed medicals. I emailed the medical surveillance team and they indicated I will need to undergo surveillance when I land in Canada
