Yes because you will be doing a chest x-ray and they can likely see that you have had a previous bad infection. You may required to do a repeat x-ray and sputum culture. Having had TB doesn't cause problems it only drags out the process a few months while they double check that you no longer have TB. The rates of TB are very low in Canada except in the homeless, Aboriginal and refugee population so Canada wants to keep it that way.
