CP Medical Exam questions for DV2008 winner

[Findingahome]

At a young age I was given a vaccine to prevent TB (back in my native country). Thereafter I always test 'positive' when given the TB test by the doctors, however, all the RX come clean.

I will be doing my medicals in Canada:
1) How do you deal with this issue since my test will be 'positive" for sure? Will I have to get the treatment (pills) again before I can be clear by the doctor?? Do this mean that my visa may be in hold until clear by the doctor?
2) If I provide my family doctor explanation (in english), will the doctor in Canada accept this?
3) Same questions regarding vaccines...If I take my vaccines history, will the doctor 'accept' this or would I have to take any new vaccines?

Thanks for any feedback.

we wrote quite a bit about BCG vaccination on this forum, I believe. It's no big deal, and a lot of people have to deal with it. If your skin test is positive, you will get x-rays. If x-rays are clear, you will be cleared for take-off. If x-rays are not clear, then you may have a problem that is potentially worse than not getting a GC.
