CanadaAbnormal Chest X-ray

I just read here: http://www.uscis.gov...000082ca60aRCRD

that one can be medically cleared for immigration purposes. I also read that you only need a chest x-ray if you have a skin reaction of 5mm or more. When I last tested a few years ago, it was 2mm.

Do we still need to undergo treatment after moving to the US if we have inactive TB? Should I get an x-ray through my physician soon, and/or take the medication, or wait for the medical exam? I think I should be fine, but I would hate to have the process delayed by months if I find out at the medical exam that there's a problem with my lungs and I can't be cleared until I complete medical treatment.

CanadaAbnormal Chest X-ray

Hi everyone,

I hope it is okay to revive this thread!

I am still waiting for our NO2, but I am looking ahead. I have tested positive for TB in the past (skin test), but my X-ray was fine. It is my understanding that once you test positive, you will always test positive. I am wondering if I will have to undergo treatment with inactive TB (someone here said that it is a class B condition). I have also read that as long as you get your doctor to make a note that it is inactive TB and that no further treatment is required, it should be fine. I would rather not take the medication if I don't need to. I remember my doctor saying it could cause liver damage, and it has to be done for nine months. Does anyone have any thoughts?

CanadaMedical Exam in Toronto (Dr.  Lyndon Mascarenhas)

Thanks for the reviews and insights, everyone! This is so helpful! smile.png

When I went to check my vaccination records with my doctor, I only had record of one of them done! He said that a few are meant for children (like chicken pox). Does anyone know if it necessary to get those ones through a booster, or can they be waived (for instance, I've already had chicken pox)? Also, I have tested positive on a TB skin test, but my X-ray was normal. Would getting a TB test again and getting documentation that my X-ray is fine be accepted/approved at the medical exam?

CanadaMoving back to Canada with spouse?

Hi everyone,

My fiance (American) and I (Canadian) are going through the K1 process right now. After approval (hopefully), I will be living with him in the US, of course. But we have been thinking that we may eventually move to Canada. Would this be a problem at all? If we do end up wanting to take this route, would we have to wait for a certain period to be over before I apply for sponsorship for him?

Any insights would be really helpful. :) Thanks!

CanadaPacket 3 Checklist - Montreal

Thank you for your insights, Captain Canuck. smile.png I didn't know that you could e-mail them those forms now. That's great!
I have read that many people never receive their Packet 3 from Montreal, and that you can send your documents once you have confirmed that they have sent it out... but have also read that you can send your documents when you get your case number?

Hi there!

Many beneficiaries with Montreal have said that they never received their Packet 3. You can e-mail the consulate to ask if they have sent it out. If they have, you can submit your documents for P3. :)

I'm sure you will get more responses in the Canada regional forum on here when a moderator moves this thread there soon!

Congratulations on getting this far in the process. :) You're getting there!
