My husband had the same case. What we did was we provided the DMP with my husband's lab results, abdominal xrays, and certification from his hepa consultant that his hepa B is "inactive" and non-communicable. I think it will depend on the SGPT/SGOT result of your lab, if its normal, hepa B carrier will pass the med test.

Actually, CIC looked more on his previous TB history, though it was inactive. My baby and I had no issue eith health. But my husband was requested for a sputum test and before/after sputum test xray. This has caused us delay of 8 weeks for the sputum test result.

We got our visa yesterday, apr 21. But, there was an attached medical surveillance form on his COPR probably because of the TB history.
Hi babycakes, i know this is a post from way back but just hoping you or someone who can give proper advise would see this. I am the primary applicant and i have been diagnosed with Hep B. Though i am yet to do my medicals, this has me really bothered. My viral load is 26 and the gastro said there is no need for any treatment. What are my chances of having a successful medicals.

Hi..

Im from philippines a hepa b chronic carrier.
Me and my partner is processing a common law application for working permit/permanent residence..

My partner had no idea about my health condition. I had my last lab test yr 2016 with DNA VIRAL of 120 and my ALT/SGPT are within ranger and my liver ultrasound is normal..

Since were planning to go in canada i went back to my doctor in st.lukes hosp to check again my hepa condition..

Do i need to disclose my condition during my medical ?

Im very worried about my condition,i hope and pray that will have a chance to get a visa..

Yes Please! You have to let the doctor know about your condition. You are also suppose to take with you any medical test you have taken concerning your medical condition. This will help the doctor to assess your situation very quick. Whatever you do, the blood test will include Hepatitis test. It will save you money and time if the doctor have access to your previous test.
Moreover, it is likely you will pass the medical test if your vitals are good and the viral load is low. Keep on with prayers and everything will be just fine!
