Brief Answer:
Should not create problems with immigration. But refrain from alcohol.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the details and reports that you have provided. I understand your concerns. The reports indicate that the heavy amount of alcohol that you had been taking has already started affecting your liver. However, if you completely stop taking alcohol, your liver can recover and hopefully in one and a half months your liver would be able to recover almost to the normal liver. All you need to do is to restrain from further alcohol intake.

The reports would not affect your medicals for your Canadian immigration. You need not worry about that.

Brief Answer:
There is still scope of recovery.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking back. Let me assure you that till now it has not proceeded till fibrosis or cirrhosis. Had that occurred, your liver would have been shrunken. Since your liver has been enlarged, it indicates the possibility that there is still scope of recovery.

Hope that helped.
