Hepatitis B is a type of hepatitis viral infection that is highly contagious whereas Hepatitis C is more difficult to acquire than other types of hepatitis and is most commonly transmitted through blood to blood contact.

For hepatitis B, there are good chances that you won't be admitted on medical grounds as you may risk or endanger the lives of Canadian citizens. Sad

As hepatitis c is difficult to acquire, there are good chances you will get through. Since you have 9 months to apply, take care and avoid alcohol at all cost. Wink


I hope this answers ur query!

Any type of Hepatitis will NOT make you inadmissible.you will get into trouble only if your liver is greatly damaged.
BTW they do blood test for AIDS and syphyllis only.

Very true ! In the interest of public safety ,applicants needs to tell their DMP the whole truth.

DMPs do check the urine. If they happen to see increased bilirubin in the urine, that might prompt them to have further tests such as liver enzymes test (SGPT,SGOT). If liver enzymes are elevated they might suspect hepatitis and further conduct a hepatitis screening. I am not certain as to inadmissibility but perhaps they would look at the severity of the applicant's disease.

Canada's regulation about the health of incoming immigrants/workers focuses on two things which can make the applicant inadmissible; first, possible transmission to others (hazard to public health)and the person causing "excessive" demand in health services.

Following an acute Hepatitis B infection, a minority of infected adults develop a persistent infection called chronic hepatitis B. Many people with chronic hepatitis B remain well, but can still pass on the virus to others.

Hepatitis B is a very infectious disease. Routine blood tests are likely to pick up active liver disease by detecting elevated liver enzymes which could indicate a possible issue with the liver. Its possible when this happens that DMP or CIC will ask u to undergo further tests to rule out Hepatitis.

•In more than 9 in 10 cases in adults, the virus is cleared from the body by the immune system within 3-6 months. In this situation you are no longer infectious and you are immune to further infection.

Its completely curable but CIC would want to be sure that u are not a carrier. I said that there is a possibility coz Salman and Jatinder quoted as below


hello i am HbsAg positive i am hepatitis B carrier can i apply for skilled immigration
i am otherwise healthy and not suffering from disease


So as CIC website, any applicant or accompanying dependant can be deemed inadmissible if they are carriers of any communicable disease.

Though I hope from the bottom of my heart, that both of them are admissible and I'm wrong Smiley

I was diagnosed to have an inactive Hepatitis B. I had my medical check up/liver ultrasound and everything is okay. My doctor at St Lukes Hospital Philippines told me that nothing to worry because I am not a carrier. Im planning to apply for a work at Canada next year. Would this affect my application. I heard from others that no need to worry if your Hepatitis B is inactive. Please reconfirm. Thanks

Neither PA nor dependant should be a carrier......They may ask you for further medical tests, but I won't be the right person to comment if ur visa will be accepted or rejected...its ur DMP

But based on ur experience jaggy999, no need to worry if the applicant has inactive hepa B? Should I declare it right away before the medical exam or no? Is there a part in the application form that will ask you of this? or blood test that will show this? Thanks

The DMP would ask u about ur medical history.......tell him the truth and also tell him that ur Hep B is inactive........he may ask you for remedicals to confirm if its really inactive.......but personally you have nothing to worry
