The sputum test isn't part of the basic medical. They will request sputum later only if your xray shows possible signs of TB.Hi everyone I’m refugee and I live in Malaysia I was sponsored by 5g i did my medical exam on 14 June 2021 i told them i had tb in the past after 20 days iom called and asking me to do sputum test in 1 day why they didn’t asking to do in the day I was doing my medical exam why after 20 days can someone tell me please
I don't know. Maybe IRCC had a different view when they reviewed your results.Thanks for replying me but they told me my xray was clear why they need sputum if my xray was clear
Thank you so much I have 1 question . If one of my family have serious medical condition are we getting refused or rejectedI don't know. Maybe IRCC had a different view when they reviewed your results.
If the problem is TB, then you just need to get treated until the TB goes away and then you can be approved. The treatment will add a number of months to the overall process but you will still be approved eventually if you go through with the full treatment.Thank you so much I have 1 question .

x-rays don’t guarantee no TB although there is usually some signs on an x-ray. If you’ve had TB I’m surprised that there was no scarring visible on the x-ray. The fact that you previously had TB would create concern that you may still have TB because there is so much drug resistant TB around and many stop their treatment because it is very tough to go through. Assume that is another reason you are being tested. Sputum test takes 2-3 months because they have to wait to see if anything grows from the sputum culture. If nothing grows from the culture the lung x-ray will then be repeated and if there are no changes or if it looks better than the first you will pass the TB part of the medical. If you have TB you are expected to get your TB treated which will take at least 6 months. You are not denied, your application is just put on hold until your treatment is over. Canada has very low TB levels and wants to keep it that way. TB is primarily limited to homeless people, people living on aboriginal reserves due to overcrowding and other social issues and refugees.Thanks for replying me but they told me my xray was clear why they need sputum if my xray was clear
By the way I took my 6 month treatment and what do you mean assume that is another reason you are being tested .

I assume you are being tested to confirm that the treatment did actually work and you likely have some scarring on your lungs that shows up in the imaging.By the way I took my 6 month treatment and what do you mean assume that is another reason you are being tested . Am sorry my English is not good
today I did my x ray test and the sputum was negative the doctor said you have some scarring on your chest and he said you have no tb I’m just wondering what is the nextI assume you are being tested to confirm that the treatment did actually work and you likely have some scarring on your lungs that shows up in the imaging.
The scarring on the imagining is why you had to go through the TB testing. As long as the x-rays look the same or better you will not have any issues.today I did my x ray test and the sputum was negative the doctor said you have some scarring on your chest and he said you have no tb I’m just wondering what is the next
You were right I did the second x ray today and the doctor said the second x ray is much betterThe scarring on the imagining is why you had to go through the TB testing. As long as the x-rays look the same or better you will not have any issues.
@canuck78 quick question my sputum came out negative and x ray was better then the previous one how about my others test I mean the urine the blood would ircc send another additional test I’m just asking your experience the specialist chest said you don’t have tb did the ircc saw my others test I hope you understand what I’m saying I’m a bit confused and I’m not good in English
No there should be no future tests to pass this medical. You should see that your medical will be completed.@canuck78 quick question my sputum came out negative and x ray was better then the previous one how about my others test I mean the urine the blood would ircc send another additional test I’m just asking your experience the specialist chest said you don’t have tb did the ircc saw my others test I hope you understand what I’m saying I’m a bit confused and I’m not good in English
