I would at least wait until your treatment is complete before applying. Applying earlier will just create problems. When applying you will have to complete another chest x-ray and sputum culture. It is a good plan to defer to January since the timeframe would be too tight to complete the mefical before September.

You can only start the TB testing again after you’ve completed he treatment. Sadly going through TB testing again will take a few months. Would focus on likely starting school in Fall 2024. If you have finished your treatment already you may be able to start in Spring 2024. Not all programs are available to start in Spring/summer 2024 which is typically May 2024.
Thanks but My situation is totally different from your explanation, i did upfront medical april and i was diagnosed of tb and told to come bk for treatment, but nevertheless i still went ahead to do my visa application cos i knew it could take time, so i did my visa application in May, i hv not gotten any feedback from canada immigration till today, i have completed tuberculosis treatment and just yesterday i received a mail from IOM that my treatment is complete and has been sent to IRCC, am just restless now. What do you think, i feel that if my application was negative i would hv been rejected since i applied in May
If IOM is involved then are you applying to be approved as a refugee? Is this a private sponsorship? If you are applying to come to Canada as a refugee then that is different than applying for work or study permit, to visit Canada or to immigrate via any other program but refugee. Medicals are often at the very end of the refugee process and medical considerations are different for refugees versus other people wanting to come to Canada. You still typically have to seek treatment for communicable diseases before coming to Canada. Even though you are applying as a refugee there is a good chance that you will need to repeat the chest x-ray and sputum culture followed by another chest x-ray to confirm that the treatment was successful. Do you know if all your background checks have been completed and your case and your sponsors have been approved for group of 5 (assume that you are being privately sponsored)? If so then you should be approved once you have finished another round of TB testing to prove that treatment has been successful.
brother, i appreciate your response but you haven't understood my situation, please listen, it's a student visa am applying for, i have completed my treatment and all the necessary test,and i hv been notified that my medical is completed and submitted to ircc two days ago, i also did upfront medicals and i have done my visa application and biometric more than six months ago
Why is IOM involved then? You will still have to repeat TB testing which will take a few months.
I wonder if OP used IOM for something else. (instead of the general understanding of International Organization for Migration)
