Can one acquired one-eyed vision and a single seizure history affect getting student visa based on medical or any other grounds?

[prakash_singh]

Can acquired single-eyed vision (RE no vision, LE completely healthy) due to an accident 5 years ago and having had one single seizure in a lifetime(2.5 years ago; on daily 1 tablet meds now and in full control) be the reason for Canadian STUDENT VISA rejection? Or I do not need to worry about my medical condition since I can read in the eye examination with my other eye and my seizure medication probably won't exceed the yearly limit of approx 20kCAD? Kindly help with my tough situation and ease my stress.

They will need to do a pirate check. If you are not on the database then no problem.

The limit you are referring to are those applying for Permanent Residency and being medically inadmissible. You are applying for a study permit which is temporary residency.

This is what I read on the official website:
Medical inadmissibility affects anyone applying to visit, study, work or live permanently in Canada.
There are 3 possible reasons for medical inadmissibility:

• Danger to public health
• Danger to public safety
• Excessive demand on health or social services

Since initially, I would be applying for a student visa, they would still grant me a visa based on my medical status, right?
I have heard from my friends that they do ask about seizure history in the medical exam.
Could you confirm my inference based on your answer that I would be medically admissible to Canada to study there and do not fall into the aforementioned 3 categories? Thanks

I certainly ain't on that DB. However, on a serious note, based on my condition described could you advise whether would I not face any issue getting a student Visa?
I may apply for PR as well later in the future; at that time could there be any issue based on my medical condition?
PS: my medication will most probably end in the next 3 years.
