Hepatitis B and immigration

- Start date
I have chronic hepatitis-B disease. I'm taking medication in my country. But I have good values. I'm just using the drug to lower HBV DNA, ALT-AST. Is my immigration application acceptable? please answer me.
--hi ,im also a chronic hepatitis B carried but our diff is that i dont take any medication. My DNA VIRAL LOAD only 167 and my ALT- AST are within normal. My opinion is that they dont accept applicants whor are under medication.
Last year, my values were normal. this year rose a little. My doctor asked me to take medicine. But he said nothing to fear. When the values normalize, we cut the drug. It's normal on her liver ultrasound. What should I do in order to learn this?--hi ,im also a chronic hepatitis B carried but our diff is that i dont take any medication.

Thank you for your response. SGPT/ALT 17 U/L. I've undergone liver ultrasound and my liver is healthy.Yes although I don’t know your complete medical profile.
Hi canuck78,Yes although I don’t know your complete medical profile.
The result of my SGPT/ALT 17 U/L Liver ultrasound is normal. A certificate from my hepa consultant indicating that my HBsAg is Inactive.Need help on what to do should I declare this in the medical exam?.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you.
Hi Nana Twum,Hello jessa,
All that the Officers want is, not to spread any kind of disease in Canada. Hepatitis B doesn't mean you are forever doomed for visa to Canada. If your Hepatitis is undetectable for your viral load or its not reactive, then it means you can not spread the disease. The same applies to AIDS. The only reason to refuse your visa application is when it is possible you can spread the disease or the stage of your illness is very bad or will be bad very soon.
So ask your Doctor if its possible to spread the disease (He might test you again for current medical information). So it would be better to apply and go for the test at the designated medical center approved for the Canadian Officials. That way you will save money and you will know if you have pass.
Don't be afraid to try.
If you never try, you will never know!
(For most people, their body nullify to virus some how, and they live with it without spreading it or dying prematurely. So it depends on your body chemistry and how it functions)
All the best my friend!
I just want to get your advice,my husband is hepa b chronic carrier. He passed on his medical last april 2018 but since it was expired he need to do re medical since our pr application still on process, can he go to his gastro now before he appear on the cic medical panel and get the new clearance form.
Thanks
HI, did you declare it? What's your update?Hi canuck78,

You need to declare any medical condition or past medical condition.. If you don’t that is considered misrepresentation.HI, did you declare it? What's your update?
That is really my concern now. My husband is my dependent on my PR-CEC. His hepa C was found out during our medicals when we applied for SOWP for him (wasn't known before that). He did all the extra tests and everything were fine so he got the visa. Now, he failed to mention that in his upfront medical for our PR. They would probably know it if they look at past medical results. I'm feeling so hopeless. I'm hoping they will give PFL 1st before coming up with a decision.You need to declare any medical condition or past medical condition.. If you don’t that is considered misrepresentation.
He should correct the information before it is found. Even send a webform to CIC indicating that your husband forgot to mention he has hep C. Given that it is part of his previous medical this was not a smart thing to do.That is really my concern now. My husband is my dependent on my PR-CEC.
