You should answer yes. This effectively means you have TB that has spread to your lymph nodes.

No you don’t need to have TB in the lungs first. It can show up in the lymph nodes first. Even if you say no to TB of the lungs you need to state somewhere that you have TB of the lymph nodes. Expect to have to do treatment before entering Canada.

You have had TB this whole time and did not declare it????? This wouls have come up in your study permit application and medical. You could also be damaging your longterm health.

No I was told few days back only .. I went to my university doctor here in canada because got some small lump, they did chest x ray to look my lungs and lungs are clear and later they did biopsy for more clarification to check what's going on and they told latent TB in lymph nodes nothing to worry just take medication for 5 months. This is the whole thing and I saw question in the PGWP application... so feeling doubt what to do??? some saying question is for TB lungs dont worry but I wanted clarity from you guys...

You will have to see what CIC asks you to do. In general people are usually asked to return home to receive treatment and then can return and once they have finished treatment. If you graduated this summer how did you have access to the physician at the university or the medical system?

Strange since you finished in summer session and December would be fall session.

 

[karthik.13]

Yes I have insurance till December nothing wrong in it...my query is not about insurance it is on helath question you are deviating the main point...

You still need to declare your TB status. You can say no to this exact question but must attach another document saying that you do have TB in your lymph nodes. Would imagine the doctor would have reported you to public health. At least they should have but the system doesn’t always work.
