Two relatives of mine are coming from india to canada live permanently with me, could they carry infectious diseases like ebola or tuberculosis?

Ebola-no, TB-check: Ebola is very doubtful unless there is recent travel to Africa. TB is something they should be tested for and cleared prior to travel if concern is there.
