A s tuberculosis (TB) transmission declines in regions of low TB incidence, TB is becoming concentrated in migrant populations.1 In Canada, a country with low TB incidence, most cases of TB (about 70%) are diagnosed in people born outside of Canada, with many arriving from countries with a high TB incidence. 2Preimmigration medical screening is a cornerstone of TB prevention in Canada. Prospective permanent residents and temporary residents who will be staying in Canada for more than 6 months undergo a preimmigration medical examination that includes a history, physical examination and chest radiograph, and when indicated by radiograph abnormalities, sputum samples for smear and culture. Applicants with a diagnosis of active TB must receive treatment before they can obtain residency status.2 Postimmigration surveillance of select individuals is also conducted, whereby people considered to be at high risk for TB (i.e., evidence of prior TB or abnormalities present on chest radiographs) are highlighted for follow-up surveillance by public health authorities in Canada.2 However, a recent study found that less than 3% of active cases of TB in people migrating to Canada were detected by postimmigration surveillance.3 Currently, no routine pre-or postimmigration screening and treatment programs for latent TB infection (LTBI) for people migrating to Canada are available. Scale-up of LTBI screening and treatment in high-risk populations postimmigration is a component strategy for achieving World Health Organization (WHO) targets for TB elimination in Canada.4,5 However, with about 250 000 new permanent residents migrating to Canada annually, the large population of people who may qualify for LTBI screening and treatment is a substantial barrier to implementation.6 National guidelines recommend targeting screening for LTBI in people migrating from high-incidence countries, particularly in adult refugees up to 50 years of age and those with other risk factors for increased TB reactivation.2,4 However, many of these recommendations are based on weak evidence.
