What kind of Visa are you applying for?  What is your current condition?    

On a high note there are many Immigrants who have Hep B and are issued Permanent Residence.  The decision is made on a case to case bases.  With medical inadmissibility there are Mostly two concerns.  First, probable transmission to others and second, excessive claim in health services of Canada.  

I know when my wife and I were preparing her application for  Permanent Residence this is something we were quite concerned with.

However, I do believe that spouses of a sponsor  (who is a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident) applying for permanent residence are exempt from excessive burden hence my question on the type of visa you are applying for.  From what I have heard and read on Forums that if your condition is stable that it usually not a problem.  However I do not know what is meant by stable.  

You may find better answers to rules of immigration on a forum called CanadaVisa, and is also a great source of information for your application.

Thank you so much SiriusLL. You have lessen my burden about this issue. Its been a week that i dont have enough sleep because of this matter. What if i will decline or failed at medical test, my worries are the effort and money I will compensate. I have waited for this opportunity to came.

My application was thru an agency. Im applying for a work permit visa thru express entry with a supervisory position. And we only have 2 options for hospitals to go with ; st lukes and IOM Manila. I dont know my status as of now because the last test was made 2014.
If ever i will undergone the medical exam so i need to tell the doctors about my case? Thanks a lot.
