Hepatitis B and Canada Immigration

[Kam10]

Hi,

I am planning to take canada PR, but I am Hep B positive, Due to this , I am worried about my medical exams, So any way to take upfront medical check up for PR process, before submitting the application.

Hi, normally they dont check in the medical for hepatitis but if you have any tattoo then they will surely test it. Also you can get it tested outside for your peace of mind. My brother was a carrier and had tattoo as well so he got tested for hcv rapid and hsag rapid test.

Hi,

As i said before they don't test for hepatitis unless you have any tattoos. So you should be fine

I have a tattoo....

Probably they will but if your all vitals are normal then you shouldn't worry. There are so many people here who got their visas similar to your situation

please advise I am getting quite anxious. My mom was diagnosed with Hep C but chronic condition. Liver scan was normal and didn't show any concerns. Apparently she's had it for many years but didn't know. Levels are low according to bloodwork. Any thoughts? Do I panic yet? What are the chances that they deny the application? Here in the Canadian clinic a social worker said that Hep is not a reason for denial but I am still very nervous? Anybody with the same or similar experience?

Will depend on her individual condition. Hepatitis C is actually very expensive to treat.

Yes we do know that. However, it wouldn't be a burden on the provincial health care system as it is not covered for citizens either. Which means that we would need to apply for various plans to offset some costs.
I wonder how they look at Hepatitis in tems of public health safety. I saw quite a few cases with Hp B positive were approved and medicals passed.

Hep B and Hep C approvals can’t really be compared. Most hep B patients that need treatment are asked to seek treatment in their home country before being approved.

The article I attached actually talks about access to the treatment in Canada so I am not sure what you are talking about when you mention that even citizens don’t have access to treatment.
