What do you mean pass? Did the doc said you don't need treatment? Is this what you mean?

Yes, I don't need any further checks, but I don't know if the immigration office has registered because I haven't received the confirmation letter yet

It goes as soon as you go to the first appointment with the provincial doc and complete all the test, they send the report to IRCC that the applicant had complied and then IRCC send you a report that we got the compliance from the provincial doc that you are good to go.

Hi Taran! If one receives such surveillance, does PR application stop until you pass this or it goes on independently?

The medical and other steps goes simultaneously. But until and unless surveillance is complete the final decision is on hold.
Which step are you on- have you been to provincial doc and taken all the steps they referred or are you still waiting for their call?

We passed the medicals on the system and one day later we just recieved the surveillance email. No one has called yet because it has just a few days that happened. And it is very weird because both doctors discharged him with no inactive TB. Now they are saying that criminality check is in process but security didn't start yet. We didn't even receive an update email about passing the medicals.
We are kind of worried again because it has been 6 months already and waiting is very stressful

Doesn’t matter as IRCC does not consider any other doc on surveillance except provincial doc's report, so you have to wait for them to call and repeat xray after 3 months ( the provincial doc will refer you that). You won't hear from IRCC until and unless they will send them the letter of compliance.

We already did the x-ray after 3 months and sputum test and we got the answer that everything is fine and the docs discharged my husband. Now medicals say passed on the system but he still recieved medical surveillance. Does it mean we will have to wait again for 3 months

No... as far as I know a form comes along with PR confirmation and you have to sign it and send it back which says that you will follow the directions given...
Was this clearance you are telling about has been given by provincial doc. Can you explain what happened after you got the furtherance letter?

So january we got the furtherance letter - husband did sputum test and waited for like 7 weeks until we got the negative results. Then in march he redid his xray exam and once sent to immigration, medicals were marked as passed on the system. One day later we receive this email saying my husband will be called by provincial health instances for medical surveillance.
Now is all silence. According to them, criminality is in process but security hasn't passed yet, which i don't understand because they already had 3 months to do all this, so no reason to be delayed so much

So you haven't been to provincial doc as yet...
Now you have to wait for them to call and do the tests again. Once the Provincial doc sends a report to IRCC that you turned up for your appointment and did all the tests, that will be considered surveillance done. Then the doc will send the letter( I think the same day after your appointment, make sure to check with them as well).

Ok so we still need to wait then. Because people say that we can still get approved for PR even before finishing with surveillance, but apparently it seems to not be the case

No it's in between the start of treatment or ongoing treatment that you get approved.
Yes you have to wait for their call.
