I am in the process of applying for a study permit to come to Canada from Iran. As medical exams are not required for students applying for a visa from Iran, I have a concern related to my HIV status and the availability of Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) upon my arrival.

If I choose not to disclose my HIV status during the application process(emphasizing that students from Iran are not required to undergo a medical exam), could this decision affect my ability to access ARVs in Canada? My primary worry is the possibility of being denied access to necessary medication upon my arrival.

I appreciate your assistance in advance.

Thank you.

Hello, please for students going to Toronto how do you intend to pass the port of entry. Do they ask how you will get ARVs after the one you come with get exhausted ? Also they give asign you a nurse for follow up or do they recommend facilities in Toronto where you can get the drugs. Please someone who as passed through this should please explain.
