regardless of his status, Canada is a country with a socialized medicine/treatment.
if they require Hepatitis tests and i assume they do then most likely his application for visa/entry will be rejected.

much like the the gulf countries in the middle east ( kuwait, saudi arabia etc...)

Ditto bberry.  If a person is likely to be an undue burden to the health care system they can be denied entry.

i'm HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, my DNA viral load count is 14 IU/ml which is low, and there is no liver damage. my doctor said i'm an inactive carrier and that i am not highly contagious. the doctor also added that i am fit to work and don't need any medications.

You will, however, need monitoring and may eventually need treatment.  You are also contagious and could spread the illness to others which would pose a burden on the system.  I'm not sure what Canada's policies are at all.  I'm just telling you what your situation looks like to a system who will have to pay for your medical care.  Please research Canada's policies further because I have no specific knowledge of it.
