From your past posts, do you not have a study visa too. If so when was your last medical?

I have student visa valid till march,2022. my last medical was on Oct,2017
That may be why. Medicals are only valid for one year and since you are on a student visa, VOs may want up to date medical since you are out of the country. So you are on a study permit and don’t plan to stay in Canada more than 6 months?

Right but when reviewing your eligibility, your file will show that you have a valid study permit (long term stay) so that is why you may have been asked for a medical. VO will think you are coming to study & need new TV to enter.

When did you stop going to school in Canada because the school is supposed to inform IRCC to cancel it. Can’t tell you your chances because you may be approved based on your valid study permit and VOs think you are entering Canada to study. That is why you may be being asked for a medical

Hello @Naturgrl . I once visited doctor in Canada and i was diagnosed with ulcers in my large intestine. later i came back to India for further management of it. Now when i'll go for medical should i declare my previous medical history and recent prescription of it. or i can hide it. ?
Do doctors and collages in Canada shares medical issue of a person with Canadian immigration as i had sent my reports to these.

Why would you hide it and misrepresent yourself? Ulcers are common so why do it.
