So when i had my initial upfront medical i was required to take a sputum test because there were some irregularities on my xray. After 3 months of waiting for the results i had to do a 2nd xray and i was told that my xray actually improved meaning the irregularities they saw the first time was lessened. Unfortunately because of this, they said that they will submit my results to CIC with the recomendation that i take another x ray after 3 months! It doesnt make sense to me since all tests has been negative including the sputume culture but they said it will be the panel physician who will decide if my medical is approved or if i really need to take another xray after 3 months. They said the final result, if i passed or not, will be known after 10 days more.

Has any one else been in this situation and can i get tips on your experiences? Im hoping that eventually CIC would not require me to take another xray bec it will again delay my visa application.

Canada is much more concerned with TB. If your x-ray comes back the same as the 1st one and your sputum doesn't grow anything you shouldn't have to do anymore medicals.

2nd X-ray is to compare to the 1st one. Takes around 2 months to see if anything grows in your sputum culture. Results seem to be ready in around 3 months after your 2nd x-ray.

Hello, I am in the same situation. The sputum tests is cleared and already submitted to CIC.
My question is, how long does it usually take for the passport request to be asked by IRCC?
