Good day to all. Just want to ask if there's someone who know the laws regarding foriegn workers with hep b in canada. Is there any hope that i can still work there?

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.

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.

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

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...)
