Hep B and Hep C approvals can’t really be compared. Most hep B patients that need treatment are asked to seek treatment in their home country before being approved.

The article I attached actually talks about access to the treatment in Canada so I am not sure what you are talking about when you mention that even citizens don’t have access to treatment.
I am sorry if I confused you. I didn't mean that there is no access. Absolutely, there is access to treatment for everybody. What I meant is that the treatment is not covered by our health care even for citizens. Which means that it has to be paid by a patient or through various social programs and/or benefit providers.

Not sure what you think social program or drug programs for patients that spend a large portion of their income on Rx drugs are. They are all government funded, The cost of treatment will be considered irregardless if you can prove that you are being offered a job where the benefit program covers the treatment (which all don’t). People lose their jobs or benefit programs refuse to cover thing so the cost of care will be examined as if you don’t have any private insurance.

You can not lie to the panel physician and must disclose all medical issues. They are likely going to do a hep B test. It also can be a safety issue.

If the viral load is minimal and no issues with your liver your chances are good. Even if you have active disease you are asked to get treatment and then you will be reassessed.

Not sure what you mean by one intake. I have no idea your whole profile but you have to reveal your hep b status and they will likely test for it. Unless you have a chronic infection that has caused liver damage you should be fine.
