Really, only the CIC medical evaluation can make this determination. But it is a fact that generally medical conditions which are not considered to pose an excessive demand on the Canadian medical system are acceptable. Since your condition is controlled through medication, does not appear to pose an excessive demand, does not require hospitalization, and is not contagious, I think you should be fine. Please see below for Immigration Act details that support this likely conclusion:
According to Section 19(1)(a) of the Immigration Act, persons are inadmissible if they are suffering from a disease, disorder, disability or other health impairment and, in the opinion of a medical officer concurred in by at least one other medical officer:
* they are likely to be a danger to public health or to safety;
* they will or might cause excessive demands on Canadian health care and social services system.
For a person to be inadmissible under this provision, he or she must be currently suffering from a disease, disorder, disability or other health impairment. The existence of a past medical condition does not result in inadmissibility.
In most cases, in order to pose a danger to public health and safety the person must have a medical condition or disease which is or could be contagious. It this is not the case, there will usually be no danger to the public health or safety. However, even persons with contagious diseases are not necessarily inadmissible. The severity of the medical condition and the ease in which is transmitted to others must be considered.
Section 22(d) of the Immigration Regulations also contemplates a situation where sudden incapacity or unpredictable behavior may pose a danger to public health or safety. This appears to contemplate certain psychiatric conditions where a person might lose control over his or her actions. However, the mere fact that a person might lose control of his or her actions under certain circumstances does not appear to be sufficient grounds for a finding of inadmissibility.
When considering the question of whether expected demands on health or social services will be excessive, the factors set out in Section 22 of the Immigration Regulations are considered. These include:
* whether the supply of medical or social services that the person might require are limited;
* the impact of the person´s admission on a Canadian resident´s access to such services;
* whether hospitalization is or might be required;
* the availability of treatment; and
* the impact of the condition on employability.
