Get a written notification regarding the timeline of sputum result and follow up xray from the examining body and then share the same with IRCC with Letter of explanation. If they don't issue a written note, you can use their emails as reference, if you have any. Also ask your examining body to inform about the timeline to IRCC separately.

As far as I know IRCC knows about the timeline clearly. Are you sure its what the email said?

6 months after the first xray. Its mandatory as per IRCC. So it would be in Jan 2023.

Yes, i am a pretty healthy person generally..rarely get sick. Yes, as long as you have active tb, you are ineligible until you let canada know that you will follow their treatment ( I believe it's daily antibiotics for like 6 months.) then you need to get another xray after treatment to prove that you are no longer infected.
I think if your last medical was good, you should be fine. It's extremely unlikely to develop tb in Canada. I would not worry in your situation ;)
Btw i went to the specialist and got my smear results back, they told me i'm not contagious. So no more self-isolation for me.
Also i'm still showing no symptoms yet so i highly doubt it's active tb ( Its possible that i got it before but it went dormant thus why i might have some sort of cavities..still skeptical about that though, i have never really got something that feels like tb)..gotta wait for culture test now to be sure and then they will make me do a CT scan.

Thanks a lot for the support my friend !
Can you please tell if there any further test required after CT scan????
