Hi first of ol thank you very much to both of you for giving me your time. Well yes I am in Canada currently and has good jobs and no health issues at ol except for the fact I was diagnosed with hep c. But I accept the reality and have no regrets. But like everyone, who  would like to give away jobs and so many opportunities. And my other question might be a sign of high anxiety but I hope I'll be able to get some information regarding this my question is has there been any case approved in Canada when applicant was hep c positive. Out of family class. Any feedback is valuable. Please & thanks! :-)

I was just wondering... everyone has been mentioning excessive demand on health or social services in Canada. But, no one mentioned danger to public health or safety, wouldn't HIV fall under this category? or our both of these waived in the family class? I just assumed that is why the medical checks for HIV hepatitis,syphilis,TB etc... cus these are commutable disease that cause outbreaks and serious illness/death if not treated.

No - HIV does not fall into this category. HIV can only be transmitted by s*xual contact, needle sharing, blood transfusions, etc. Because transmission is so limited, you would never have an HIV "outbreak". TB, on the other hand, is transmitted extremely easily in comparison and that's why it is flagged as a danger to public health and safety. People with TB are not allowed to immigrate to Canada (even through spousal sponsorship) until the TB has been fully treated and cured.
