Query related to medical history (cancer) while applying for Masters Degree

I want to apply for Masters Degree in Environmental Engineering in the top Canadian Universities. My question is health and age related - I am 40+ and a cancer survivor and have been in remission for a year now. I have a US Masters Degree (2005) and US work experience of 5.5 years. My overall work experience (US and India) is around 13.5 years in the same field. Would my medical history and age pose any issue while applying for the Post graduation degree course and visa application process?
Thanks in advance.

Whether your medical history will be an issue will be determine as part of the medical process. I can't comment on that.

In terms of your age, it's certainly possible to be approved for a study permit if you are over 40. You'll want to include a SOP to explain why you need a second master's after all this time.
