That could depend on the circumstances. If you had not told them you have it and this had an impact on your employment, then they may well be within their rights to fire you. If they fire you just for having epilepsy and it has no impact on your work, then they may be open to charges of discriminating against you and you could have a case of unfair dismissal.

You might be able to get the licence, but you won't be able to get the DOT medical card, which will give you a de facto bar from employment as a CDL driver.

Unless they ask you directly, you don't have to tell them. And if they do ask you, they can't choose not to hire you because of your epilepsy. After you are hired, it is probably a good idea to tell them for safety reasons.

I disagree! For your safety and those around you,tell them! Should they choose to fire you, sue them for discrimination. A few restrictions could apply ( for safety) but I would not call epilepsy a disability to the point of not being able to work. I have epilepsy, for 22 years, and still working!

When you are applying for employment in Canada (at least in the teaching profession) you have to inform them about your epilepsy. It is a health and safety issue. I have epilepsy (for 38 years now) and found that honesty is the best policy. Once the issue is out in the open many people are interested in the topic and ask you questions about it. Just be prepared to reassure employers and coworkers that it does not affect your work performance.

No. Epilepsy is not contagious. You cannot catch epilepsy from anybody.

Epilepsy is the name of the illness. Someone who has epilepsy gets seizures. Epilepsy is the tendency to get seizures. Someone who gets regular seizures can be diagnosed as having Epilepsy.
