Visitor to study visa

Hi Guys
I am going to apply for a student visa. I have been in Canada for last 9 months. I am on visitor visa and applying for my study visa. Do I need a medical for my study visa application.
Thanks

Yes you’ll need to do a medical. You need to show that you will return home after your studies so staying in Canada as a visitor for so long does not help your application. Hopefully you are applying for an advanced degree like a masters.

Were you not asked to do a medical when you extended your visitor status?

No, I was not asked.

Where were you living before coming to Canada as a visitor?

Have you done a medical in the past year? If not yes you’
ll need a medical.
