Hi Team,

Probably not but will come out in your medical. If you get a procedural fairness letter as a burden on health system then you get a lawyer to work on a response. Officers look at not only today but the future and whether you would require hospitalization, surgery etc.

No you can only bring a 3 month supply of prescription medication. If you are coming as a student most schools have a drug plan.

You will not see a specialist for a long time. Through provincial health care, you need a family doctor. That family doctor will refer you to the specialist. Depending where you live and the number of specialists you can wait over a year (or more) for an appointment.

If it takes over a year for me to see specialist but within that time if I need my arthritis tablets which are prescription drugs , can family doctor use prescription provided from my Indian doctor to prescribe me drugs in Canada basically can I get arthritis drugs which are prescription drugs in Canada without seeing specialist

Your family doctor can prescribe medications for you. The challenge can be finding a family doctor too. Again depends where you live.

Are you even in Canada? Once you apply and get your Ontario health card, you can register. You can’t just go to a clinic and find one. You need to find a doctor accepting new patients.
