Diabetic New Immigrant to Canada

[apsannapu]

Hi,

I recently received my PR and moving to Canada soon. I'm diabetic since 9 years and it is stable. I have few concerns:

1. How should I get my meds once I move to Canada?
2. Can I carry initial 3 months supply of meds with prescription ? I only use one tablet. Shouldn't be lot of meds.

I'm taking Destination Canada insurance covering pre existing conditions. If any emergency occurs that should cover for initial 3 months.

If anyone has idea abut this, please let me know.
