Medical Surveillance Notice

[aamirlatif23]

Hello,
Hope everyone is doing well.


When my wife entered Canada in April this year, she received an IMM1442SP form indicating a medical surveillance undertaking. At the time, the immigration officer mentioned that we would receive further instructions via email.

Last week, we received an email advising us to contact the Peel Region Health Authority. Upon speaking with them, we were informed that we need to print the email and visit a family doctor or walk-in clinic. The doctor would then determine whether additional tests, such as an X-ray or blood tests, are required.

We are a bit concerned, as during her immigration medical exam in India, she underwent multiple X-rays and other tests as required by IRCC. She has a history of TB but was completely cured, and we were assured that there was no active TB at the time.

We have a few questions:

1. Is this follow-up process routine for someone with a history of TB?
2. Could this impact her immigration process in any way?
3. Will we need to provide medical records or evidence of her previous treatment? Unfortunately, we did not bring these documents with us.
4. Any other advice or things to keep in mind during this procedure?

We would greatly appreciate any guidance or clarification on how to proceed.

Thank you for your assistance.

1. Yes
2. Yes, if you have a relapse.
3. You'd better have those papers.
4. Just do what you are asked to, if no signs of TB, then there's no issue

Hello,
Thank you for the kind response. Is there a timeline within which I have to get this one from the date of email received?

There's no timeline here. Just don't stress out about that.

No strict timeline but sooner rather than later. Would aim for the next 30 days.

Yes, this kind of medical surveillance is fairly routine for people with a previous history of TB. It does not necessarily mean she has active TB or that there is a problem with her immigration application. I would follow the email instructions and visit the family doctor or walk-in clinic. They can review her history and decide whether an X-ray or blood test is needed. If they require her previous treatment records, you can contact the hospital or doctor in India to obtain copies, but take whatever information you currently have with you. As long as she follows the surveillance instructions and completes any required testing, this normally should not negatively affect the immigration process. Keep the email, IMM1442SP, and any test results or medical paperwork for your records.
