after 2 months you will get sputum test results and after 3 month of medical done you need to do rexray
if both are fine than your file will move further, do not worry most of cases results comes fine (as scar can be due to lots of reason)

if TB found than need to go for treatment and later app can move

Thanks Vats. Im really hoping the result is all negative of my Sputum Test. So that I will not undergo for months of medication. Last question, if the result is Negative what is the next step? Is it PPR? Thanks Again. ;) ;)

Hello everyone, i just want to ask anyone who had experience or knowledge about this specially those filipinos who undergone medicals at slec global. We were informed by the nurse at slec global after 2 days of medicals of my husband that he is for pulmonary evaluation by a pulmonary specialist at slec in ermita and we have to bring his previous xray if any. I ask him whatwas the result of his xray he told me that the doctor will just explain. Do you think he will undergo sputum smear or culture in this case?All his previous xray 3 months ago and 1year ago was all normal. It just happened that he had colds and follwed by cough a week before his medicals but other than that he is ok. Anybody here experienced to undergone pulmonary evaluation and was not submitted to tb test like sputum culture/smear. My husband happens to have asthma also. Thanks in advance.

We already have our visas :)

No further tests done and no medication/s prescribed. He needs to undergo medical surveillance in Canada that he is very much willing to do.
Hi! I also underwent sputum test and have my x ray repeated. The doctor said I am already cleared. How long did you wait for the visa, from the time your hubby was cleared? thanks ...

Hi guys, landed to canada last sat. Just want to share my landing experience. We arrived at vancouver, had a quick interview with the immi officer, good thing he's nice. He asked lng if all the people in the list landed altogether, no other dependent or previous marriage. You have to present your copr and the med survey form and passport. Wait for a few minutes then he'll give back the passport. Another thing, make sure you have an address of the place where you will staying because that is where they will send the PR cards. Another thing make sure you have alloted at least 2 and half hours for your next connecting flight after vancouver, because we missed our next flight bec we had to wait for our turn in the immi off. Tom i will be going to canada service to apply for our sin and health cards..good luck guys. Oh for those who have driver's license back at home you can use them for three months here while applying for a local license.. God bless us...;-)
