Hepatitis B is not a ground for medical inadmissibility. However, it will depend on what stage it is at and whether you have started the treatment for it.

Thanks for your response. I have read the protocol. Thanks for sending. I have not started treatment (hopefully never) since my viral load has always been low since I was diagnosed 4yrs ago. but I have follow up visits with a specialist every 8 months. I have received a provincial nomination following my completion of a doctoral degree in Canada and ready to apply via express entry.
1. Is it necessary to get a letter from my specialist detailing my prognosis and possibly stating that my condition will not drain the healthcare system. 2. Do I have to do anything to strengthen my application so that this hep B diagnosis does not ruin my chances?

Hi there,
Did you get the PR? I know it's been a long time since your last post but I wish to know what happened since I am facing a similar challenge.
