Depedning on the extent of the TB the xray will show scaring of the lungs.
As long as you are healthy now with no signs of TB you will be OK.
I do not hink this will affect you future plan of permanent resident status.

For your information, In Canada for TB they carry out bump test. If that comes +ve they send you for X Ray. Normaly teachers or profession related to children have to pass this test. Even if it is +ve(which is +ve for almost all Indian /Pakistanis because of TB virus exposure and our body having antibodies for TB) they advice for X ray. I dont know their reaction if TB is +ve in X Ray.

If + in x-ray also, then you need to get vaccinated and you become okay in a month or so but you will be monitored weekly.

I +ve in X ray, you have to be on oral medication for a very long duration and there is follow-up treatment. If case is serious (in Canada) nurse will come to your residence to make sure you take medicines. I know a person who was suspected case of TB but eventualy all the other test like sample from lung liquid, sputum etc cultured proved it was - ve.
But still doctor calls on him to check if he is OK. Canadian & Americans are scared of TB

That is because now there is a new version called drug resistant T.B very difficult to treat.
So they don’t want to take chance.
