That's one of the most important tests they take. They are very picky about those X-Rays.

1. Positive x-ray
2. Sputum test, 6-8 weeks incubation.
3. Re x-ray, if TB is positive, refusal or deferral until treatment taken.
4. If inactive, must report for surveillance in Canada.

X-ray is most important. If doubtful, other tests may be ordered as PMM has suggested. The decision will be made by Canada office doctors. Usually any positive test means rejection.Tuberculin test (skin test), however, is usually positive for most developing country residents and does not mean rejection unless proven by other tests.
