No its not possible,they normally do only chest x-ray which is a very basic test and it cannot detect whose smoking unless smoking has induced specific disease like COPD with bronchitis and emphysema,which usually occurs after many years. It will be good if u visit some good physician and do ur chest x ray and take opinion to see whether u have got some pathology to ease ur heart ! Regarding alcohol its not possible to detect again unless ur physician finds out some specific disease induced by alcohol and if he detects it must be in advance stage with symptoms and disease already know to u. In general it will be good to quit smoking as it can cause cancer of so many organs and alcohol has its own disadvantages !

Nope.
If that was the case 1/2 Canadians wouldn't be here.

YES.HE CAN REJECT.
During medical examination DMP ask questions related to your health/medical history.
Out of various questions one question which he asks is do you take alcohol?
You have to reply either YES or NO.
If you say YES then next question will be how much? .
you reply a peg or 2 daily.Next he will ask 1 or 2 pegs?
Say you say 2 daily.
Which he calculates as 14 pegs a week.
If you by mistake say that week ends or sometimes with friends it is more than this, he will note down and mention in this questionnaire and calculate ur liquor consumption for whole month and put it in writing.
This medical report will go to medical section of the visa office and there they will calculate your total liquor consumption and if it exceeds the permissible limit then u are an "alcoholic".Visa officer will refuse you visa by mentioning that you have declared to DMP regarding alcohol so u will be burden on canadian exchequer because you will be required to attend various rehab centres to come out of it.
I have personally read this letter issued by CHC,New Delhi. And really enjoyed reading it because the affected guy was a "Sirdie" who was not actually a drunkard but was trying to ape 'canadian culture" and his perception is canadians drink even during day time.Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Medical officer will also ask a question.Did you ever have an illness like Typhoid?
If you say YES.Guess what happens.This will result in another howler.
Guesses?? I will reply in next post.

how expensive is liquor and cigarettes in Canada?
Dunhill was AED6.00/pack in Dubai ($1=AED3.55).
Here it is $9.80/pack. Do your maths.

U r permitted to bring in 200 cigs/pax, duty free. If u r a smoker, don't waste that chance.

35 Dirhams for a pack!!!! Qorax, you are encouraging me to quit smoking!!!!
Mirza Sahib,

If u can, nothing like it. I couldn't, tried couple of times... But the WILLS power was stronger than the will power. Here, I'm paying thru my nose! Literally!

Captain,

1 promise. When I come ( If we get the approval), I will bring a cartoon for you. meanwhile, my sister and her son are coming there mid august. they will land up Alberta but I guess they can courrier it to you from there. If this is possible, it will be my absolute pleasure to send you the brand you smoke, let me know.

Thanks Sir,

That was a warm gesture. But it's a non-issue now, as I'm already used to the price difference. However, we look forward to your landing... We pray that your case gets sorted out & u do get your share of success.

Best of luck!

Gee Maaties, I stand corrected :). I quit smoking 14 times :) each time i quit, it just starts harder. Captain, I would love it if you quit, but if you fail to quit by August, I really dont see any reason why I cant send 2 boxes with my Sister and her son. Will ask you 1st week of August if you have quit, if you have terrific. if you havent, 2 boxes are on the way!!
