Will they?

hi guys, i new to this forum, and i am soo thankful that this site exist, this helps a lot!

i have some query for you guys, hope you could help me. my wife and i, applied for immigration under skilled worker category.
we have completed our medical and was submitted to Manila, Philippines last August 9, 2010. My wife has history of TB way back 2006, she undergone treatment for 6 months and was successfully healed. since then, every time she undergo company medical examinations including x-ray, the result was "negative", radiologist don't even see any "scar" in her film, also, our pulmonary doctor told us that there was really negligible scar in the x-ray, it can't be noticed if the one who reads it don't have the idea that she had it (TB) previously. For our peace of mind, last February 2010, she undergo x-ray examination using the "digital x-ray", our doctor suggested using this type of x-ray since it is more accurate than the conventional one. the result for this type of x-ray is still "negative".

after our medical exam last august for, we asked our immigration doctor how was the reading of her x-ray, the doctor told us it was negative, the radiologist haven't found any signs of scar or previous scar due to TB. my question was, will the embassy require us to have additional test such as culture/sputom to prove that she's out of TB? even though the result submitted shows that is was negative, since we have declared it in our medical form? has anyone here experienced the same?

by the way, my wife is the main applicant.

hope you could enlightened us guys, we are a bit worried

Dear ice_man,

Do not worry at all. Yours is a latent TB case which is not inadmissible to Canada. Just wait for a while. They might ask you for a follow up medical for Sputum Culture and repeat X-ray just to make sure the TB is no more active. But eventually you will get the PPR.
Cheers,
Jalap

hi guys, thank you so much for your reply. my husband was the one who made this account since i was soo worried with my medical exam, your reply lessen my sleepless nights 

 @ all:

we have a friend who had same case as mine, his lungs is already clear and has no signs of lung scar since TB was detected and was treated at an early stage. his TB was detected/spotted during medical exam as part of school requirement. After submitting his medical result to embassy, after 2 months the embassy asked for his passport for stamping, no additional exam was asked eventhough he declared that he has history of TB, though, according to his x-ray, it was cleared. has anyone experienced the same? he landed last year.
TIA
