The treatment will be a med a day for 6 months or an year.
Yes sputum,skin test and an xray will be done. Their word will be the final word for your clearance.
But on my online application it says medicals passed. So why should he have treatment if he has no TB of any sort?
It's so as your case has now been passed on to provincial doc so now IRCC is dependent upon them to give you a clear, so technically IRCC has passed this on to other entity.
It's so weird because from the research that i did we most probably will go to the same clinic we went before for the sputum test. Repeating things, losing time and getting stressed for nothing
You are receiving incorrect information. No issue with receiving PR while having to do medical surveillance. Public health will likely monitor your spouse once in Canada because TB can be missed if not a good sputum sample for example. He will likely just be monitored and asked to report any symptoms like fevers, cough that lasts more than a week, etc. TB is fairly uncommon in Canada except in a few populations like on reserves, homeless and asylum seekers and Canada wants to attempt to keep it that way. He will not be required to do treatment if he doesn’t have a confirmed TB diagnosis.
So he will be monitored because of I assume his abnormal chest x-ray. It will be a minor inconvenience but wouldn’t worry about it.
What does the monitoring consist of? And does this mean our pr application will be on stand by until he finishes the surveillance?
Don’t believe there should be a cost. If there is it is minimal. No it won’t pause PR application. Surveillance is done after you receive PR.
My question was not on the cost but on what surveillance consists off. As in what to expect after the call from the doc
Sorry misread that. Public health office likely to call and most likely a nurse not MD. Really up to them to determine the level of surveillance needed. Could be as little as self-reporting unresolved coughs and fevers but also could require something like another chest x-ray.
