[Peturice]

hello my name is pétur i'm from iceland and i might move to canada if i can find this answer anywhere.... when i was born i got blood transfer and got infected by hepitatis b, and now its only 20-30% likley that i can infect, and no signs of it, no liver damage. I live a healthy life i dont  smoke, dont drink eat almost always the right food, never had any health problems because of the hepitatis. So do you think i would get in or what ?

It would depend on your current health. Find a doctor and have your Hepatitis B antigens tested. That will say if there is still a problem. As far as your suitability to get into the CF, there is a medical board that decides that once your application goes in. To know for sure, apply and see.

Good luck.

Hey, ASK A RECRUITER as 99% of members on this site aren't recruiters, and nobody can advise you better then the people who's job it is to get you into the forces.  www.forces.ca that's a start,
Hope the best of luck for you, cheers.

To join the Canadian Forces, you have to be a Canadian Citizen.  If you are not, it will not matter about your age or medical condition; the other two criteria that you must meet.

I'll let a Medical person answer your question about Hepatitis B.

It would be decided by the RMO reviewing the file and the lab (blood) work.
Generally, we tell people to apply and find out. However, George Wallace's point above
applies too. You need to move here first and be a citizen.

(I'll move this thread to the recruiting medical board shortly).

Yes, I understand you have the virus. There is nothing wrong with you...for now.

Apply and you will have your definite answer.
