Perhaps you are not aware of the costs of hep C treatment. Not saying he will be 100% refused but it is an incredibly large omission.

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 good to hear about your wonderful news. I have the same case with my husband. Can you please give me more ideas on what to do? If you will read my reply please message me ativoj3@yahoo.com. I badly needed some advice and I will highly appreciate your help. Thank you and God bless.

It will purely depend on his lab values.

I wasn't able to bring him yet for laboratory. Can I ask for your messenger or email add ma'am/sir. Please I need advice. My husband is so upset because he was disappointed when he applied way back 2008 in middle east and failed because of his medical result. Now, I am an AIPP applicant but I'm in chaos state now because I don't know if I have to c9ntinue my application because I am too afraid my husband can't go with us. I am the one applying in AIPP Canada and if I get hired and passed I will be able to bring my family but I don't know if my husband will have a chance knowing that he is hepatitis b reactive. Please enlighten me. Please help me. Thank you

Either your whole family will be approved or will be refused. I do not give out my private information. It will be purely up to his current viral load, liver enzymes, etc.

Nobody will be able to answer you. It will depend on your husband’s health and viral load. If your husband gets denied your whole family gets denied.

If we will be able to manage his health condition and have a certificate that he's healthy and no longer reactive. Is there greater chance?
