To be honest IDK. I received the portal email and I submitted my photo mail address and declaration that i am living in canada on 25th of july. On 22nd of August I received medical surveillance undertaking form. Then I called Ircc agent, 1 agent told me dont worry coz i already clear my exam and other told me go to public health talk to them and submit that form to Ircc through web form. I did everything but yesterday i called them and they told me that Ircc don’t deal with medical surveillance. So I am so confused now. I really appreciate if you help me. Thanks
Hi yes for my case as well cutomercare mentioned it will not affect but in GCMS notes I was able to see a note after portal e-mail sent stating Survillance is not 1 it means Medical Survillance team need to confirm. so my eCOPR got delayed meanwhile I received letter from RMO for my remedical (chest xray) i took 3 months before I tried to attach that letter and raised webform and after a month I received mail from Medical survillance that I am in compliance no more action needed and then next week I received eCOPR and my PR got approved.

Is it your PR processing got affected due to survillace? You received your PR ?
hi , yes I was able to see that only in GCMS that my PR delayed due to Medical Survillance even though Customer care mentioned that is not a factor. I saw a note from office that survillance is not 1 after my portal submission and only after Medical Survillance mailed it as complete and in complinace I received by eCOPR

Received the same email from medical surveillance

"
The results of your immigration medical examination (IME) indicate that you are required to report to a provincial/territorial public health authority (P/T PHA), as you may have a medical condition considered to be one of public health significance in Canada requiring a medical follow-up referred to as surveillance.

The P/T PHA has the responsibility to conduct a medical follow-up according to established protocols. Therefore, you may receive a letter or a phone call from the P/T PHA regarding next steps to completing medical surveillance. The P/T PHA must inform Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that you have complied with medical surveillance for IRCC to update your file.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, response times and the availability of appointments has been affected. This means it may take longer than 3 months for your appointment to be scheduled. If you have not heard anything from the P/T PHA after six months, please email the Public Health Liaison Unit at IRCC.MHBSurveillance-SurveillanceDGMS.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

For IRCC to notify the designated P/T PHA of your medical surveillance requirement, please kindly ensure that you have provided IRCC with your updated Canadian residential address. A copy of your IME will also be sent along with the notification. Please know that without a Canadian residential address, IRCC cannot inform the P/T PHA of your medical surveillance requirement. If you do not know your address upon arrival, or if you relocate to a different province prior to your appointment with public health, please email the Public Health Liaison Unit at IRCC.MHBSurveillance-SurveillanceDGMS.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

As a friendly reminder, failure to comply with all the conditions in this notice may be reportable under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and could have an adverse impact on your current and/or subsequent immigration applications to Canada.

A copy of this correspondence will be included in your file.""""

My Immigration doctor says "it's a "cousin" of TB no need to worry it's inactive. I received this "Cousin" of TB from somebody can't do anything he said its will not affect visa or application

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I have searched 12 pages deep and cant seem to find anything related to this topic. My husband who I am sponsoring recently did his medical exam and his GCKey account states he passed his medical exam. He received an e-mail today stating:

"The results of your immigration medical examination (IME) indicate that you are required to report to a provincial/territorial public health authority (P/T PHA), as you may have a medical condition considered to be one of public health significance in Canada requiring a medical follow-up referred to as surveillance.

You dont need to contact or do anything. I am under surveillance too. I got a mail few weeks after receiving the email abt the surveillance. I got my PR now and the officer just reminded me to attend the surveillance and thats about it! Dont think too much. Wait for the mail to come in with your schedule mine is on Nov this year.
Kristoph .. by observing your message i feel you have/had not been through any infectious disease. Is it true... please tell us any person diagnosed with TB( inactive tb) can get PR or not?

Hey guys, for my medical surveillance(I forward my old message), I got an updated email recently. I am a little confused and surprise, cause I did nothing about it. Just got this email said I complete surveillance. Does this mean they remove my surveillance and not affect my PR application? Or I still need to worry about medical immigration officer's final decision? Thanks in advance ;)

Below is the email content:

According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) records, you are in compliance with the medical surveillance requirements associated with your application. This means that you have completed the actions that were asked of you in relation to your medical condition.
No further action is required of you in regards to your medical surveillance at this time. Please note that the Public Health Authority in your province or territory may continue to follow-up with you about your health condition for their own records.
We have updated your IRCC file to indicate your compliance and included a copy of this message.
Hello there I have sent you a message realted to this post, can you please rely to that, it will be of great help !!

The poster has not been active for over two years. You probably won't get the reply. If you have a question, why don't you just create a new thread?

I went through this process.My every report was normal but IRCC told me that I have a latent TB.When I landed in Toronto Airport there also I was asked to contact public health authority.We contacted public health authority.They did my skin test and an XRay.They found latent TB but I am informed that it is not at all harmful.No medication required.I may suffer from TB at an older age.But regarding my immigration status I don’t have any problem.After almost a month I received an email that I have cleared my medical surveillance.So do not worry.
hello , did you receive a medical surveillance letter from your home Country
