    Hepatitis B treatment in Ontario

    I think it somehow depends on the country. My exam was done in Vietnam. HepB was NOT on the test by default. They only asked the technician to extend the test after I'd declared my condition in my check with the doctor.

    PR Card status - Asking those landing after 14 June 2018

    Yeah I'll give it some more shots. Most of the times the line was busy. The only time I succeeded was shortly after the 1-month mark, but the agent refused to update the address for me via phone and insisted I'd have to do it on their website - WHICH NEVER WORKS.

    Hepatitis B treatment in Ontario

    Thanks for the link! While the virus is active, all my results have been of normal levels and virus load was undetected. Yes I'm aware. That's why I want to have an idea of how much I would be paying when I start being prescribed in Ontario.

    Hepatitis B treatment in Ontario

I'm coming to Toronto as a PR in a couple of weeks and trying to figure the cost of the drugs since prescription drugs aren't covered by OHIP. Anyone knows how much per tablet we're prescribed there? I've...

    OSAP Funding for newly landed immigrants

    Didn't you have to fulfill the "12 months residency" criterion to be eligible? I contacted ServiceOntario directly and they kept telling me I need to be in Ontario for 12 consecutive months first before I can apply :(
