Student Visa for Australia or Canada ( with Anti-HCV Postive and PCR Negative)
Hi Folks!
Hope you all will be doing good. here is my medical history.
Diagnosed with HCV in 2004, Got PEG-INF and Rabivirin treatment for six months.. PCR NEGATIVE since 2004, last PCR done 3 months ago (AUG 2012) which was again NEGATIVE..
My Question is: I want to go to Australia or Canada for my Higher Studies. will it be a point of concern for me to get a student visa for both these countries?
Also i wanted to go to some Middle East countries for job purpose... but they are very strict (I would say they are Nerds).. The just declare anyone medically UNFIT if someone's anti-HCV is positive (even if PCR is Negative). Anti-HCV remains positive forever if you have had HCV in the past.Same is my case my anti-HCV is positive and PCR is NEGATIVE.. and i have even discussed this matter with my gastroenterologist and she said that you can never apply in Middle East for job purposes (that's insane).. anyways let's come to the main question i asked .....Am i Medically Fit to get a student Visa for Australia or Canada? Please reply against my query.
Take care.

You could check with the Canadian or Australian embassies or possibly search related government web sites. I have seen many saying they have problems in the middle east as we will always test positive for antibodies to he c even though we are cured and do not have a viral load. Unfortunately all they test fro is antibodies to hep c. Just search student visa health requirements Canada or Australia I think should do it.
Good luck
