Recently I have taken Chest X ray and it detected a Scars on my Lungs. Report Says: Small Parenchymal Lesion with fibrosis seen in both upper lobe and middle lobes. Will I be eligible to apply for Canada or USA for Student Visa. Your Reply Would be Gracious.

I do not think so, because this can be pulmonary tuberculosis which can be treated in 6 months but your eligibilty for visa may get reduced if lesions are still active.

Hello, Scars on X rays in chest most of the times are harmless and are of no significance. It will not affect visa approval.
