Hi Team,
I have psoriasis Arthritis , will it cause issue in immigration to Canada ? i need folitrax and folic acid medicine will this cause issue for immigration
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.
I am consuming tablets now not biological injection (methotrexate 25 mg tab and folic acid) , Since I will be staying only for year can I import these medicines.Yes it could be an issue if there is a chance you will need a biological.

Thanks for replying for my queries , i will be coming on work visa , my employer wont provide drug plan . if i declare in immigration plan that i have psoriasis arthritis will I get to be treated by rheumatologist immediately or there is procedure for that too.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.Thanks for replying for my queries , i will be coming on work visa , my employer wont provide drug plan . if i declare in immigration plan that i have psoriasis arthritis will I get to be treated by rheumatologist immediately or there is procedure for that too.
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 specialistYou will not see a specialist for a long time.

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