It depends on what is going on in your body not the outwards signs.

Hi everyone,
I would like to share my experience regarding Hepatitis B decease and immigration to
Canada. First of all I succeed medical examination and received visas past week.
I have Hepatitis B for 15 years, received treatment and my physical condition is good
and stable. Although, I worried a lot about my chances to pass medical exams and to
immigrate to Canada.
I searched the web and found almost no information or someone's experience.
What I found, was an official guide on CIC site instructing the med. personal regarding
decision workflow and tests / documents required. From this document
(*** .cic.gc.ca/ english/ department/partner/pp/pdf/IMEI_Hepatitis.pdf), I learned
that Hepatitis B doesn't lead to med. exams failure automatically, but each case
examined specifically.
Following the guide, I prepared for the day of medical examination following documents
and test results (according to my test results you can judge your condition relative to
mine):
Hepatitis B Surface Ag : POSITIVE,Hepatitis B Core IgM: NEGATIVE,ALT (GPT): 38
U/l,,Hepatitis B PCR: HBV DNA not detected

Couple of weeks after I received visas together with my family. No additional test were
requested. Med. admissibility code in my visa is the same as for my wife and kids,
which are completely healthy.

Hope the information above was useful,
Good luck to you.

@fozzy620 thanks for sharing your experiences. Best wishes for your health and life in Canada.
I just wanted to ask if you have the PDF and would be able to send it to my email at [email protected]?
I tried accessing the link you provided but it appears that they may have taken down the page or PDF.

Thanks again.

Depends on his blood levels. If he is approved but needs treatment he will need to have treatment before receiving approval.

Hello Rock Star,
Testing positive for hepatitis B does not mean you or your wife will automatically be refused entry to Canada. The medical panel will do their own test and assess your wife's situation. She's likely to pass the medical test if she will not be a risk to the general public (spreading it in Canada) or the treatment will not escalate out of hand (needing intensive medical care including but not limited to liver transplant).

So, this is not the end. If you never try, you will never know.
My advice is, you have to try and hope for the best!

Hello guys,

I just want to ask if I need to declare my HCV positive in medical history or not.

While applying for a study visa they tested me for HCV and turned positive and submitted additional details and it was fine( Panel physician website has info saying they test for HCV)

I was tested positive for antibodies but the viral infection was negative. Consulted doctor and he said no treatment is required.

I DON'T HAVE ANY TATTOOS

So, I booked for medicals next month. The official website(Panel physician website) stated that the blood test is done only for HIV and Syphilis.

Do I need to declare my HCV? If I hide if and if doctor submits will CiC have my old medical records? Will, there be any problem

I was tested for positive antibodies and not for VIRUS. So, I was never sick/ill.

 

[Faith_in_him]

Depends on his blood levels. If he is approved but needs treatment he will need to have treatment before receiving approval.

Thank you very much!

Yes you do have to declare. Yes previous medicals will be compared by the CIC so your misrepresentation will be caught.
