Hi all,

I feel like my entire PR application process was a movie..with a happy ending as my PR was finally approved last year and my family landed successfully last month. :D

But the saga continues :p

I was an inland applicant and was diagnosed with active TB during my application, long story short I had to wait for 6 months until I got clearance from the doctor. And then my application was approved. I was sent a medical surveillance form and I was advised to complete the medical surveillance even before landing. So I completed the medical surveillance, sent the completion letter to the CIC address and I was expecting to get some sort of confirmation letter that my medical surveillance case is now closed.

However, no letter came. And when we landed last March the immigration officer did not see the completion letter on my file. It has been more than a month already since I sent the medical surveillance clearance of public health to CIC.

How do I follow-up?

I tried to open a case notes with CIC but they just responded to me with "Applicants found to have a medical condition of public health significance during their immigration medical examination must report for medical surveillance upon their arrival in Canada"

But I already did...

HI all,

I applied for Student visa in 2015 and did Medical Surveillance back in country and i got my visa, After landing in Canada i did another Medical Surveillance and got clearance letter.

When i applied for my PR, i presented that letter but still they said i need to go through procedure again. I did that too. But recently i got email that i have to go for MHB surveillance program and i met with a nurse in my province and she examine and said i am looking healthy but she prescribe another X-ray.

Can anyone guide me how much time it will take to complete MHB surveillance ?

Thank you in Advance

Can you or anyone please tell we get this surveillance notice after approval? Getting this letter means approval? We haven’t received any email for approval but we got this surveillance notice. Do you know what it means

Hi,
I am in the same boat.
I had a case of TB in the past which was cured completely. I was given the work permit based on the doctor's report who treated my case.
Now I am in Canada and applying for a PR. I got an email for
Medical Surveillance

Surprisingly the email went to the attorney who got my Work permit renewed after one year.

He forwarded it to me. What do I need to do? Should I visit my GP or wait for letter from IRCC?

I have not yet submitted my application - but I went for an upfront medical exam.

What action did you guys take? Did you visit your GP to get the clearance etc?
