Thank you so much for replying!

will they ask for any other test as well? The doctor has said a long list of test and she is confident enought to put me on medication even if all my reports are negative and xray hasnt changed.

i will for sure change the panel but wanted to know what can be the tests they might ask and process just in case things dont go well

Usually if the xray is unchanged it means TB is inactive. But still you have to go for treatment but that can't be decided by doc, it can only be recommended by IRCC.

I think the argument between you two is the cause of her saying this.
The stage after furtherance (I am talking about Canada, don't know if you are here or overseas), is surveillance. In that tests done are sputum, xray, skin test and the results of these leads to further treatment.

Yes I believe if you reach that stage you will get it. The panel to be honest can not do anything on their own.

So i did the 2nd xray and sputum test (negative) then i was also asked to get a clearance from a pulmonologist the day after my 2nd xray. Then ircc requested for a 3rd xray which i already did this month again (after 3 month from 2nd xray) and now they want me to do a ct scan i mean i dont understand why

Who want you to go for CT scan? As I said above CT scan is not a norm, Usually it's xray and sputum. I bet it's not in Canada we are talking about, isn't it?

Did the 3rd xray physician said its normal the scar still the same as the 1st xray but IRCC still emails me incomplete and needs additional medical, So physician said to do a CT scan
So I guess you don't have a choice.. what does the email says about incomplete test...
No change in xray is normal..

Ok. Was it the email you got after furtherance letter? Like after doing 3rd xray? The reason I am asking is that after furtherance people expect the medical results to be passed in the tracker after they are done with their 3rd xray, though it takes a while to get passed. I haven't heard of IRCC sending an email saying incomplete but I can be wrong depending upon country to country.
