Pulmonary Tuberculosis(Active/Inactive)-History,Sputum Tests,6 mos medication...

[IMGNSPNP]

Help Pls...
I want this depression to go away and be enlighten by u guys who has a lot of knowledge when it comes to this process.
My agency just told me that all I have to wait is our passport request. Base on what I've said to this forum last is that when I check my eCAS it says medical have been received. 11-04-2016 update. But just today I recieved another email from IRCC that my elder daughter needs to have a new medical again. And they only give us 30days to comply.
My question is, is it because her medical will expire soon?( December 29,2015). That's why they request a new medical? I've waited for another 3months for my younger daughter sputum smears and culture result and now a repeat medical again for my elder daughter. And take note my medical will expire as well soon. (January 5,2016).
What will gonna happen next?
How long shud I wait again until they'll request for our passport and visa to be issued?
I'm worried that it may lead to refusal? Hopefully not after all these years of waiting...
I'm just so depressed and upset..
It's my elder daughter's bday today here's what I received from my email.

Hi
firstly, if you was requested to re-appear for medicals then they will clearly instruct you in the email about furtherance and the reasons. please check and make sure its not coz of uncleared issues associated with yodaughter'sers health. I dont think it was due to the health concerns rather i believe it is due to your current medicals are about to expire, either of the reason you ring the local panel physician and make things clear before panicing any further.

it's mandatory you should have valid medical which shouldn't be older than 12 months by the time of passport requests so may be thats the reason your gals were advised to re-take the tests.

Do not worry I have been through all these phases in the past now i got my PR and landing in Canada in Dec.

Stay positive

All the best.

Thanks so much for your advice.
I'm just a bit upset because I really wanted to go back home and spend Christmas with my family but I guess I have to be patient and put my trust in him that everything will be alright. In time me and my family will be together again and hopefully here in Canada..
I really appreciate all your help and message.
God bless

Hi everyone! Newbie here.

I am just wondering if applicants have to finish the entire 6 months of medication before the application will continue processing? Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

We recently did our meds and the doc asked a repeat chest x-ray for my wife, and now she has been called by the doc to see her.
I just found out that my wife was treated for latent TB years back when she was a kid. While at the meds she did not disclose this information, my question is when she goes back to see the DMP should my wife mention the fact that she was treated for TB when she was a kid ?

Thanks cla3107

Really appreciate the advise. But I want to be specific; let me explain my case clearly.

I don't have pulmonary TB or lung TB. I don't have a lung scar. My recent chest x ray and all previous ones never revealed any scars in the lungs. Lung TB was completely ruled out by my family physician.

For your information, TB occurs in many different parts of the body. The way TB organism got into me should be like this. I was exposed to the organism, the organism entered my lungs, went into blood stream without causing anything like scar or symptoms (maybe my immunity fought it well). Since the organism is/was in the blood it can infect any part, as my body permits. So I got a lymph node TB. That's called TB lymphadenitis.

My doctors removed the node surgically and put me on a regular TB medication for 6 months as it is the protocol here (whatever kind of TB, medication and duration of treatment are pretty much the same).

Now it is my own physician who's treating me suggests that there is no need to mention about my current TB treatment during the medicals by CIC panel doctor. He is telling that the X ray that will be taken by CIC doctor will not show anything abnormal since I don't have lung TB. And moreover the TB that I have cannot spread. And I am finishing my medication in less than a week. He is telling that the immigration doctors usually screen only for lung TB. My doctor suggests if I disclose my lymph node TB, I might have unnecessary trouble of proving to CIC panel doctor that I don't have a lung TB by having multiple referrals like pulmonologist opinion and further unnecessary sputum, blood tests and x rays and medical reports from various physicians. All these are expensive and time consuming (not covered by insurance, because I don't need them clinically according to my treating doctor). I will have to spend from my pocket. I know if necessary it is necessary. But I am confused and perplexed when my own doctor tells me 'that's okay, go for the test, no need to say anything about your current treatment!!'

What do you folks really think and say as this is my situation..?!

Hi Goldi,

Hope all is well.

I've read your situation hence join the forum.
Can we have a conversation on Messenger instead? You can send me an email to superangel1207@gmail.com if you can't find me on FB.

I will wait for your response.

Surveillance -> health monitoring (in a nutshell).

See below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/surveillance/surveillance.asp

Upon landing, the border officers will do the following:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/surveillance/notify.asp

Check the form given to you - if it is IMM 0535B. Additional instructions (as in the link above) to you will be provided by the border officers (CBSA) processing your landing.

hi guys newbie here,

were done our medical this jan. 26, 2017 at st. lukes extension manila, My son and I finish mmr vaccination.But the problem is I have findings to my x ray result but its not pulmonary desease. Findings are Bilateral apical pleural thickening and left pleuro-diaphragmatic adhesion, It is possible the medical officer from CIC will contact me for additional test?or its done?
thanks guys

our medical report forwarded to cic Jan. 30, 2017 and Jan. 31, 2017

I'm already done with my medical exam at St Lukes BGC, they compared my old xray films with the recent and asked me to submit a detailed med cert regarding my history. My question is, St lukes said there are no additional tests needed and that they already processed my medicals like 2 days ago. Does that mean, I'm all good?Is there a case here wherein the panel physicians did not require sputum tests but the CIC still asked for one? Thank you
