Usually means that your chest x-ray wasn’t clear. Could be a result of anything from your past but in certain regions they want to rule out TB. Further tests doesn’t mean automatic approval but you didn’t get automatic refusal which you get soon after applying.

Would warn you that if your plan is to try to immigrate to Canada if you do get the study permit you may run into issues with medical inadmissibility when applying for PR. Your kidney transplant will be closer to the 15 yr mark which means you may start having more expensive problems and eventually need a new transplant. Nobody can predict the future but certainly something to consider.
thank you so much..

hi.. yes i gave my sputum sample last april 14, 2021. still waiting for the result. it will usually take 8-10 weeks. but my eligibility started last april 25, 2021 and also medical result in being reviewed.
Did u gave ur biometrics?
I have a doubt...after giving biometrics only will our medicals get reviewed?
Because today i filed my visa for sept intake..
Doctor told me that I'm igra positive and may get further test request through mail..but i didn't get any mail.
My consultant asked me to file visa so that we might get mail when the medical being reviewed..

Thanks, it seems my timeline is same as yours, my last sputum sample collection was on Apr 14th, I was told 6-8 weeks and a repeat x-ray on Jun 28th. Meanwhile, I received a correspondence letter of biometrics that triggered me anxious. Hope for the best!

Yes, the correspondence letter of BVL came May 31st, is this normal or something concerning?
if you got bvl before your medical gets updates. it;s a bad sign. usually they issue bvl after people pass admissibility in case of approval. but seen different cases with complicated medical cases. good sign that if it was refusal it would have come with bvl or 1-2 days after it . remember with ircc bad news comes fast and first.

Thanks, I have not received a refusal as yet so probably will hold my hopes for now, will continue to wait for culture test report and will comply with repeat x-ray on Jun 28th, fingers crossed.

I am from India; its strange though, the medical test procedure at least in my opinion should be same regardless of country, but hang in there, I know its negative for you as well!

well i think it depends on the clinic or facility where u had the test.. canada doesnt have control on the facility's own policy or protocol.. im kinda worried actually since i only have little time to submit my student permit to my school before the deadline
