Hello everyone! I am Hiv positive today. Supposed to fly canada this coming. But unfortunately i was not able because of the medical result. But the good thing is i will have to get my Study permit as long as i will have proper document about hiv status and could finance my med when i get there in canada . I HOPE I WILL APPROVE. This is my dream and i cant even sleep because of this.
You need to do and pass rhe medical before getting a study permit. You can pnly bring 3 months of medication into Canada.

Hello everyone, I am an international student from China and already got an offer from a University in BC, and I have enrolled in September 2020 and am taking online classes. Due to a positive medical test for HIV and no further information on my visa yet, I would like to ask for advice on what to do now as I have to go to Canada by September this year or I will not be able to complete my internship offline, I have placed my timeline below.

August 31, 2020, submitted the application for the visa.
September 4, Completed the collection of biometric.
Nov 16, Received a letter requesting a medical exam.
Nov 21, Completed the medical examination.
Dec 28, completed the additional information medical examination required by the RMO, including CD4, viral load, tuberculosis interferon, hepatitis B and C, etc.

January 20, 2021, RMO sends email to complete additional medical examinations, communicates with panel physician and finds out that doctor uploaded first and second medical examination results together and the RMO doctor did not see them, so uploads medical examination results again.
February 2021, the status of the medical examination became "We are reviewing the results of your medical exam".

It's been almost 4 months now and I still haven't heard anything. I'm anxious to start my offline courses, so I'd like to ask you if you are taking a long time to process the medical exams and what I can do now. Thanks.
Do you have to be undetectable for you to have to study permit?
