Hi everybody.

I am currently living in India and working as a UI Designer and Developer and I applied to Canadian colleges for further studies and I have been accepted in one of them. I have only started smoking marijuana very recently, Since February, I smoke a joint or two every day for a week, so that is 7 days in each month, since last 3 months. Now I need to go to do medical examination soon. I am nervous that this will get my application rejected. I got my acceptance letter on 17th and I haven't smoked since then, and I won't do it either in the near future. What are the chances that I will be rejected?

Be as truthful as possible, thanks.

I don't think they check your blood for illicit drugs.....

No need to worry, like others have said, they don't take a blood sample for pot.. Just make sure when you arrive in Canada you don't have any trace of it on you or your luggage.In the mean time don't get a criminal record over it or you won't get into Canada. :D

Thanks for the replies everybody. I did my research but the op in those posts never replied as to whether or not they passed their medical exam. I will make sure to reply here once my results come, for any future member.

Smoking weed is almost legal in many cities in Canada, esp Vancouver and Toronto.
You just go to a Naturopath, and they give you a form to take to one of the dispensaries. Legal weed. Some of the dispensaries have the Naturopath on site.

One problem though is if you are not a permanent resident and you get caught by a cop with weed they can order you deported. They do this to international students all the time for some stupid reason.

I stopped smoking for exactly one month, and I got my visa. Thanks to all for replies. I haven't smoked and I won't be smoking in the near future either. Good luck to all the future applicants.
