"Hepatitis C"
 
   Dear Mr Cohen
How can hepatitis C influence the result of medical examination?
My medical papers was sent to me just 1 month ago,the interview was not required and I was very happy,but unfortunately last week I came into touch with contaminated blood(hepatitis C) and I am very afraid of being infected.Does this disease have any influence on my admission to Canada?
Thank you very much.

   If one has come into contact with fluids possibly contaminated with Hepatitus C, or other pathogens that can be similarly harmful, it is highly advised to seek medical consultation immediately, regardless of any intentions to immigrate to Canada. In this case, a medical doctor should be consulted for this specific incident. It is best to be certain of potential infection as early as possibly, so that any treatments can be commenced, or a determination of whether or not infection has actually occured can be made.

On another topic, medical exams for Canadian Immigration purposes are conducted by medical doctors approved by the Canadian Government. There are often several such doctors in major cities world-wide. These doctors will simply provide an objective report to immigration officers, detailing medical examination results. An immigration officer will then make a decision about a person's admissability based on medical results. This decision is made by the immigration officer and not the doctor.

Because Canada has a free medicare system, certain medical conditions, diseases, or infections that have a potential to require on going medical care and treatment can sometimes result in a refusal of the application on medical grounds.
