Narrative:
Shooting a nav ILS with a pt; announcing our position with center and CTAF; TCAS showed no traffic in area with center telling us no traffic in the area we get a RA of climb; showed no prior warning out to 6 miles; within 1 mile it tells us to climb to 300 ft below; we climbed up an additional 500 ft; the RA turned into a TA. We continued the [approach] with pt; inbound on apt we picked up airport visual. Only then did previous traffic make traffic report. Collision was avoided; but seems really close when IMC! Traffic was VMC; for their practice [approach]; we were IMC due to the terrain in the area not allowing us to descend into VMC.
